Transfer Student Fee
At our university, we charge a $50.00 transfer student fee* in lieu of a student application fee, and only to students who have previous credit which we need to evaluate for potential transfer credit.
*TCE fee waived for all United States Active Duty Military, Guard, and Reserve personnel.
Like standard university application fees, our fee helps to cover the cost of the staff to contact your previous U.S. colleges for your transcripts (as long as your previous college allows this), and to perform the course by course evaluation of prior credit from all sources submitted.
Please note, the transfer student fee does not include contacting a student's previous institution(s) for supporting documentation - including course syllabi or descriptions - which may be required in order to maximize the transfer credit award. Students who believe they should have received transfer credit for a specific course in their official Transfer Credit Evaluation (TCE) results but did not may contact creditaward@apus.edu to see if additional documents are needed to support the TCE. It is the student's responsibility to contact the previously attended institution to obtain the necessary supporting documentation if required.
The transfer student fee is non-refundable once the transfer application is submitted.
