Transfer Guide
The VWU Transfer Guide provides basic guidelines for acceptable courses that can be transferred to Virginia Wesleyan University.

- course descriptions and syllabi from the institution of higher learning;
- an official college transcript; and
- course grades of C or higher.

The Director of the Education Program will review any previous teaching experience. Such experience may allow for an abbreviated practicum or pre-service teaching placement.

- written letters of recommendation;
- copies of contracts for such teaching experiences; and
- other written proof of participation in appropriate classroom settings.
