What is the difference between Requirement Met and Transfer?
Transfer credit is awarded for courses passed at a previous institution that are directly related to the coursework required for your program at WGU. A Requirement Met will be issued if a course passed at a previous institution indirectly meets the requirements for a particular subject. For example, in order to transfer credit for IEA4 a student must have passed an Economics or World Civilization course. However, if a student had another social science course, such as Psychology or Sociology, a requirement met will be issued. If a requirement met is issued, a student does not have to take that course through WGU, however it will not show as transfer credit on the WGU transcript.
