FAQs for high school students with college credit:

All college credit is evaluated on a course-by-course basis. You can see how past courses have transferred in by checking out our Transfer Credit Database. Please note: the Transfer Credit Database may not include ALL courses that could transfer to Gonzaga. We also have transfer agreements for specified associate’s degrees, along with Core waivers, that you can read about here. If you would like more information on how your credit will transfer in, please contact your admission counselor.

Students can send official transcripts at anytime, though we encourage students to send college transcripts after being offered admission. If admitted, you should request official college transcripts (from all institutions awarding college credit) to be sent to Gonzaga University. This will allow GU to provide you with a transfer credit report so you are able to view how your credits will transfer to Gonzaga.
