Transfer Credit Applicants who wish to transfer credit from a prior school into a Fielding program of study should consult the website on Transferring Credit and the Transfer and Articulation handbook for related policies and procedures. Students accepted to programs approved by the VA for education benefits who submit a Certificate of Eligibility or other acceptable proof of entitlement information of said benefits will have their records reviewed for previous education and training deemed equivalent to the University’s minimum requirements for transfer and articulation credit. The VA School Certifying Official (SCO) will review said records; if minimum requirements are deemed met, the SCO will solicit from the applicant the required supporting documentation for a full review by the appropriate academic personnel identified by the program or school to which the prospective student has been offered admission. The SCO and the University Registrar’s Office will maintain a written record of previous education and training of the veteran or eligible person which clearly indicates that appropriate credit has been given by the school for previous education and training, with the training period shortened proportionately.
