* Course Content: The courses must align with Walden's program requirements and demonstrate equivalent learning outcomes. A simple course title match isn't sufficient.
* Grade Earned: A minimum grade is usually required (often a "C" or better).
* Accreditation: Credits from regionally accredited institutions are generally more easily transferable than those from nationally accredited ones. Both Capella and Walden are regionally accredited, so this shouldn't be a major hurdle.
* Course Age: There might be a time limit on how old the credits can be.
* Program of Study: The specific program you're applying to at Walden will influence which credits are accepted.
To find out definitively which of your Capella credits will transfer:
1. Contact Walden University's Admissions Office: This is the most reliable way to get an answer. They will have access to the most up-to-date information and can review your Capella transcript.
2. Review Walden's Transfer Credit Policy: Look for this information on their website, usually in the admissions section. This will outline their general policies and may give you a better understanding of the process.
Don't assume any credits will transfer until you have official confirmation from Walden University. The process can take time, so start early.
