Earning Additional Transfer Credits

Applicants short of general education requirements may take CLEP (College Level Exam Program) tests to acquire units. A maximum of 30 units of CLEP is accepted for transfer credit.

In addition to external transfer opportunities, applicants may transfer Pacific Oaks Extended Education and Community Service courses to earn a maximum of 30 upper division transfer units. This would include Pacific Oaks Drug and Alcohol Studies courses and course credit awarded by portfolio assessment through the National CDA Certification Program.

Applicants who meet any of the following criteria may transfer up to 94 semester units to Pacific Oaks:

  1. completed 24 or more semester units at a four-year college(s), with no distinction made as to upper or lower division status;
  2. completed at least 18 units (beyond the 9-unit general education requirements) in early childhood education;
  3. completed at least 18 units (beyond the 9-unit general education requirements) in Social Sciences, specifically, Psychology, Sociology or Anthropology; or
  4. completed at least 15 units in each of three of the four basic content areas: Oral/Written Expression, Science/Math, Social Science or Humanities/Arts.

Units in items 2–4 above may be taken at a community college or a four-year institution.

Students may request a transfer credit estimate based on unofficial transcripts by appointment with the Admissions Office.
