Placement testing
Arrange to take The College Success® Placement Test prior to registration. (Prospective students that have an associate degree or higher, or have earned a "C" or better in college-level algebra and English composition are not required to take The College Success®). Learn more about The College Success® Placement Test
Prior learning/transfer of credit
Arrange to have any other official transcripts sent to our Registrar's Office.
Students may receive a preliminary plan of study and register for their first semester of courses using unofficial transcripts given the following circumstances:
- All credits that the student wishes to transfer have a letter grade; "TR's" will not be incorporated into the student's plan of study or serve as transfer credits into Goodwin University.
- "In progress" classes will not be transferred into Goodwin University. If the "In Progress" class is a prerequisite for a class at Goodwin, our academic advisors will schedule around that prerequisite with other courses that fulfill the student's chosen degree program.
- All classes that a student wishes to transfer must be presented to the academic advisor in the first advising session. Any credits that may appear on an official transcript once the student has enrolled at Goodwin will be at the discretion of the transfer coordinator to transfer into The University.
- Once a student is matriculated at Goodwin University, no additional credits earned at other institutions will be transferred.
- New students will have ten weeks from their start date to submit all official transcripts from previous institutions to Goodwin University.
