* The receiving institution's policies: Each university has its own policies regarding transfer credit. They may only accept credits from regionally accredited institutions (Ashford/UAGC is regionally accredited), but they may have further restrictions based on course content, grade received, and the overall program you're applying to. Some institutions are more receptive to transfer credits than others.
* The specific courses taken: A course in, say, "Introduction to Psychology" from Ashford might transfer easily, while a highly specialized course might not. The receiving institution will evaluate the course description and syllabus to determine equivalence to their own courses.
* Your intended major: If you're transferring to pursue a specific major, the receiving university will carefully assess whether your Ashford credits fulfill the prerequisites or general education requirements for that major.
* Your GPA at Ashford: A higher GPA generally increases your chances of successful credit transfer.
In short, you must contact the registrar or admissions office of the specific traditional university you're interested in attending to inquire about the transferability of your Ashford/UAGC credits. Don't assume transferability; always get it in writing from the target institution.
