Do WGU credits transfer to other universities easily?

I’m a student at WGU and thinking about transferring to another university. Do you guys know how well credits from WGU transfer? Any personal stories about how the process went would be awesome!

The transferability of credits from Western Governors University (WGU) to another institution is largely dependent on the policies of the receiving university. While WGU is a regionally accredited institution, which tends to make credits more transferable, the decision to accept these credits is still up to the particular institution or program you are transferring to.

Some universities may have articulation agreements with WGU, which means they have a pre-established system for recognizing and applying credits from WGU to specific degree programs, making for a relatively smooth transfer process. However, not all universities have such arrangements with WGU.

Also, consider the type of coursework you've done at WGU. Credits from liberal arts or general education courses are often more easily transferable than credit from specialized or technical courses.

Before transferring, it's advised that you speak directly with the admissions department or a transfer counselor at the university you're considering. They should be able to give you specific information regarding transfer policies and potentially even give you an estimate of how your credits may transfer.

Regardless, always try to secure official documentation outlining which of your WGU credits will be accepted to avoid any surprises or disappointments later on. You might be interested to know that many students have reported a fairly smooth transfer process from WGU to other institutions, which is a promising sign. Transfer experiences can vary though, so it's important to do your own investigation.
