All credit-bearing courses from accredited higher learning institutions are considered transferable to Leighton University; the grades earned in these courses are used in the overall GPA computation. As used here, the term “accredited” refers to the following regional accreditation and national organizations:

- Western Association of Schools and Colleges-Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (WASC-Jr.)
- Western Association of Schools and Colleges-Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges National, (WASC-Sr.)
- Distance Education Accreditation Commission, (DEAC)
Credit courses from institutions other than regional accreditation are evaluated for transfer purposes on a case-by-case basis.
