Transferring Credits

If you wish to transfer Gallaudet credits to your home institution, you must obtain approval from your home institution, prior to applying, to ensure that the credits will be accepted.

Professional Studies (PST) and Sign Language America (SLA) courses

Gallaudet University offers a wide range of courses that bear the prefix “PST or SLA”. PST/SLA courses carry university credit but credits earned are not applied toward a Gallaudet University degree.  These courses are designed at a reduced cost to offer educational and professional development opportunities for those who are not looking to pursue a degree program at Gallaudet. Often a PST/SLA course may be cross-listed with an undergraduate or graduate class and the class is made up of both sections. PST/SLA students will need to meet the same criteria for admission and completion.   Other universities and accrediting organizations may accept PST/SLA credits, but students wishing to transfer credits should check to determine the applicability of the coursework at their home institution. Some PST/SLA courses are offered as clusters that lead to professional certificates. A transcript showing both letter grades and credits earned is available upon request.

Students must submit a written request to withdraw from a class. Please note that there will be no refund of tuition and fees. You may send your request to  Click to show email. A “WD” will appear on your transcript. Responsibility for following these procedures rests with the student.
