ABIIT evaluates credits for transfer from nationally or regionally accredited institutions. Credits are accepted for transfer provided:

1. The courses are similar in objectives and content to those offered by ABIIT
2. The courses can be applied toward graduation requirements
3. The letter grade (or equivalent) in the course is “C” or better (provided the “C” grade is defined as average or better).

Credits in skill or technical courses must have been awarded within seven years of the student’s acceptance by the College in order to be considered for transfer. Transfer of credits in skill or technical courses older than seven years is generally disallowed.
