Community College Transfer | Liberal Transfer Credit Policy

If you’ve attended any regionally accredited college or university, we’ll help you transfer as many of those credits as possible toward your degree. If you’re attending a California community college now, learn more about the "Transfer Admission Guarantee" that ensures all your credits seamlessly transfer.

The earlier you plan, the faster you’ll finish.

No matter where you are in your college education, it’s best to plan ahead. That’s why at UMass Global, we have Enrollment Coaches on staff to help you create a personalized pathway to your Bachelor’s degree. It doesn’t matter where your college credits come from, our goal is to find a way to make them count using one of these options:

"Degree with a Guarantee” California Community College transfer program
"MassTransfer Block" Massachusetts Community College transfer program
General Education Block Transfer for CA, OR or WA states
Coursework Transfer Database for many colleges and universities
MyPath Competency-Based Education programs

If you attend a community college, or plan to, find your school’s transfer guide and use it to register for classes.

Connect with an enrollment coach to learn more about what credits you have will transfer towards your degree.

Even if you’re still in community college, you can apply for admission now and build your education plan.

As an independent, nonprofit university in California and a member of AICCU, UMass Global is proud to be just one of a handful of universities participating in this partnership with California Community Colleges. The Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) is a special degree offered through all 114 California Community Colleges that will guarantee you a saved spot at UMass Global. In most cases, when you earn your ADT at your local community college, you will seamlessly transfer those credits to us with junior year standing. To learn more, meet with your Community College Counselor or speak to an enrollment coach today at 800.746.0082.

We are proud to accept MassTransfer Gen Ed Foundation courses for transfer credit to University of Massachusetts Global. Students who are studying at a Massachusetts Community Colleges may be eligible for a program called MassTransfer Gen Ed Foundation. These credits, when completed together with a 2.0 or higher GPA, fully transfer to UMass Global and may satisfy the general education degree requirements - even if you don’t have your associate degree.

Perhaps you’ve completed your general education at one or multiple colleges and now you want to gather up all those credits and apply them towards your four-year degree. UMass Global accepts a wide variety of GE credit transfers if they are completed prior to attending your first UMass Global class:

In California, we accept CSU or UC IGETC certification
In Massachusetts, we accept the MassTransfer Gen Ed Foundation courses in transfer
In Washington, we accept state approved Direct Transfer degrees
In Oregon, we accept transfer credits
In all other states, we accept equivalent transfer certifications

University of Massachusetts Global accepts coursework from many different colleges and universities to meet course equivalencies, general education or general elective credits. If you can’t find courses, they may not yet be reviewed. For a complete review of transfer credits, grab your transcripts and connect with an enrollment coach.

What about work experience? That counts, too.

If you’re a working adult with educational goals, we’ve got a competency-based education program called MyPath that’s designed for you. Our program is fully flexible allowing you to speed to completion or pause when you need to. Your work experience can convert to credits and while you’re in class you will learn things you can immediately apply to your job. That’s a win-win.
