Students that are currently enrolled in a certificate program at Midwest Institute may transfer approved credits to a degree program. Students who transfer in from another school must have transcripts sent directly to Midwest Institute from their previous college. After those transcripts are evaluated the student may be accepted into a degree program and approved credits may be transferred.
