Post University Transfer Credits Guide 2026 How to Plan Before Classes Start

If you are starting Post University soon, your smartest move is to check transfer credits before day one. It can decide how fast you graduate, how much tuition you pay, and whether your credits count toward your program or turn into random electives.

This guide explains Post University transfer credits in plain language and gives you a step by step plan you can follow even if you are a working adult, a transfer student, a homeschooler, a high school student earning credits early, or a college student trying to save money.

Quick answer

Plan your transfer credits before you enroll. Confirm Post University transfer credit limits and residency rules. Start with transfer friendly general education courses first. Track credits and submit transcripts early so transfer credit evaluation is smooth.

Step 1 Confirm your program and format Before you choose any courses, confirm two basics. Your program or major and whether you are enrolling online or on campus. Transfer credit rules can vary by program, so planning first protects your time.

Step 2 Ask the two transfer credit questions that matterMost students ask will this transfer. That is not enough. Ask these instead.

• What is the maximum number of transfer credits Post University accepts for my program

• Do transfer credits count toward general education, electives, or major requirements

  
  

These two answers tell you what is possible and prevent wasted credits.

Step 3 Use the Post University transfer credit tool and check course equivalencyIf Post University provides a transfer credit tool or course equivalency list, use it early. What you are looking for is whether a course matches a Post University equivalent and how it applies.

• General education credit

• Elective credit

• Major requirement credit

If a course is not listed, it may require transfer credit evaluation. Do not wait until the last week. Transfer credit review can take time, especially near term start.

Step 4 Start with safe transfer friendly courses firstIf you still need credits, start with courses that usually transfer well across many universities. These are commonly required in most degree paths.

• English composition

• College algebra or statistics

• Intro psychology or sociology

• Microeconomics or macroeconomics

• Communication or public speaking

  
  

The goal is not to do random courses. The goal is to do the right courses first so they count.

Step 5 Understand residency requirements so your plan is realisticMany universities have residency rules. This means you must complete a certain number of credits directly with the university you graduate from. Even if you can transfer many credits, you will still need to take a minimum number at Post University. Always confirm this before you build an aggressive transfer plan.

Step 6 Track everything so your transfer is cleanCreate a simple tracker with these fields.

• Course name

• Credits

• Completion date

• Transcript source

• Notes on how it applies to your program

Also save proof. Completion confirmations and course outlines or syllabus if available. This makes transfer credit evaluation easier and prevents delays.

Step 7 Send transcripts earlyDifferent schools have different transcript routes. The safest approach is to confirm where transcripts must be sent and submit them early, not at the last minute. Save proof of submission so you can follow up if needed.
