OneTranscript®
OneTranscript® is a service for non-enrolled students who want to consolidate their academic records for employment or educational purposes onto a single master transcript. OneTranscript® will list college-level credits normally applied towards an Excelsior University degree such as credits from an approved college or university; military, business, and industry education and training evaluated and recommended for academic credit by the American Council on Education (ACE), the National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS), and Excelsior University’s Prior Learning Assessment Office; Excelsior University courses and examinations; and credits appearing on international credentials evaluated by an Excelsior University-approved agency. Once credits are posted to the official transcript, they cannot be removed.

The Excelsior University OneTranscript® is a service to students not enrolled in Excelsior University who want to consolidate their academic records for employment or educational purposes. The Excelsior University OneTranscript® lists college-level credits that could be applied toward an Excelsior University degree. Effective, Spring 2023, approved transfer credit will be awarded a P grade for courses with a grade of “C-“or higher. If the program from which the student wishes to apply credit awards grades using a Pass/Fail or numeric grading system, rather than a letter-grade system, the credit may be accepted only if a grade of “Pass” or the numerical grade issued by the institution as the equivalent of a “C-” (70%) or higher. Prior to Spring 2023, D grades were accepted in transfer.
If a OneTranscript® student enrolls in an Excelsior University degree program, they will be under the degree program policies in effect upon admission. All course work listed on the OneTranscript® will be evaluated according to their applicability toward the degree program the student enrolls in. Not all credits listed on the OneTranscript® will apply toward a degree program (example: external D grades are not applicable to Excelsior University degrees).
