How to Request Professional Certificates & Credentials

This article is to help guide students on how to request their professional certificates or gather necessary information so CSU-Global can verify the certificate for review and potential transfer credit. All certificate information, verification or transcripts MUST be sent directly to admissions@csuglobal.eduAny verification  item, document or transcript sent to the student or gathered by the student and then forwarded to CSU-Global will not be accepted as official.  CSU-Global will not accept photos, pdf's, copies or print outs of certificates or credentials. 

CSU-Global will review certificates, credentials, trainings and courses that have an ACE or NCCRS approval and recommendation for credit. Please note transfer of credit or recommended credit amount is not guaranteed. For certificates, credentials, trainings and courses that do not carry an ACE or NCCRS approved recommendation, or are not pre-approved by CSU-Global, credit will not be reviewed or transferred in. In these situations, students are encouraged to have their training or issuing organization work with ACE for a comprehensive review or contact CSU-Global for an organizational review of your organizations training and credentialing programs. Organizations may contact CSU-Global for a review at outreach@csuglobal.edu.

Students can review the Alternative & Professional Credit Guide and the CSU-Global Catalog for accepted certifications.
