For an initial evaluation, course details and an unofficial transcript are required. The registrar will provide a response via email to confirm transfer credit acceptance or denial.
An official transcript documenting the culminating coursework and grade is required for final processing. Accepted coursework will display on the student’s course records page once processed. Questions concerning transfer credits should be directed to the registrar at registrar@theartofeducation.edu or 515.236.5094.
Transfer Credit Requirements
Prospective students are responsible for reporting previously attended colleges and universities for which they wish to have earned credits evaluated for transfer into The Art of Education University’s degree program. If a student does not disclose earned credit from a previously attended college or university prior to program enrollment, they risk taking courses for which they otherwise may have received credit and will not be issued a refund.
All transfer credit requests are reviewed by faculty evaluators and the Office of the Registrar. The Dean of Curriculum and Instruction determines the final decision regarding transfer credit appeals. The Art of Education University does not guarantee transfer credit acceptance without prior approval.
External coursework may be considered for elective transfer credit if all of the following conditions are met:
Accepted coursework will display on the student’s course records page once processed.
Residency Requirement
Students enrolled in degree programs must complete a minimum of 50% of the degree program credit hours with The Art of Education University as the institution of record. Coursework taken through The Art of Education University with a partner institution of record appears as transfer credits on the official transcript. Transfer credits do not count toward the residency requirement.
Non-matriculated Coursework
Individual courses taken through The Art of Education University prior to program enrollment are subject to the transfer credit policy. A maximum of 18 credit hours may be completed prior to enrolling in the master’s degree.
All non-matriculated courses are reviewed by the Office of the Registrar. The Dean of Enrollment Services makes the final decision regarding non-matriculated course transferability appeals.
Acceptance of Transfer Credit Disclosure
The Art of Education University cannot guarantee credits will be accepted as transfer credit at another institution. Students are advised to check with the degree-granting school, state, or district to verify credit acceptance.
University Partnership
The Art of Education University partners with Morningside University. Morningside administration reviews materials course-by-course to determine acceptable course equivalency at Morningside. Equivalent Morningside course codes are included on the course landing page. Upon registration, students may select AOEU or Morningside. This selection dictates the school of record for the course transcript. Once a course grade has been earned, a student can no longer change the registered university. Note: Morningside University is accredited through the Higher Learning Commission (HLC).
Additional policy information may be found in the current edition of the Graduate Catalog.
