ԱհԲ®
ԱհԲ® is a service for non-enrolled students who want to consolidate their academic records for employment or educational purposes onto a single master transcript. ԱհԲ® will list college-level credits normally applied towards an 91Թ degree such as credits from an approved college or university; military, business, and industry education and training evaluated and recommended for academic credit by the American Council on Education (ACE), the National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS), and 91Թ’s Credit for Prior Learning process; 91Թ courses and examinations; and credits appearing on international credentials evaluated by an 91Թ-approved agency. Once credits are posted to the official transcript, they cannot be removed.

Fees
- ԱհԲ® Service Fee – The ԱհԲ® service consolidates student’s accredited college-level academic records onto a single 91Թ transcript (known as the Credit Bank transcript). The ԱհԲ® service and fee entitles students to receive an official evaluation of the credit applied. The fee includes one full year of the ԱհԲ® service. When students submit additional credit, they can be added to their record with no additional payment within the year.
- ԱհԲ® Update Fee – After a full year of using the ԱհԲ® service has expired, an update fee will be applied if students would like to use the ԱհԲ® service for a second or additional year.
- Federal Emergency Management (FEMA) Independent Study Course Fee – There is an additional charge for FEMA Independent Study courses based on the number of courses awarded using the ԱհԲ® service.
- Official Transcript Fee – The transcript fee covers the cost of preparing an official copy of the 91Թ Credit Bank transcript.
91Թ courses/exams will be added to the ԱհԲ® record at no additional cost to the student if a written request is received.
Refunds
Students requesting a refund of the ԱհԲ® Fee must submit a signed refund and withdrawal request to the ԱհԲ® team. The ԱհԲ® fee minus a $50 processing fee will be refunded upon written request within six months of registration in the ԱհԲ® service if an evaluation of credit has not taken place. If an evaluation of credit has been completed, the student is not eligible for a refund.
Additional Information
Official transcripts are required and must be submitted directly from the issuing institution to 91Թ.

The 91Թ ԱհԲ® is a service to students not enrolled in 91Թ who want to consolidate their academic records for employment or educational purposes. The 91Թ ԱհԲ® lists college-level credits that could be applied toward an 91Թ degree. Effective, Spring 2023, approved transfer credit will be awarded a P grade for courses with a grade of “C-“or higher. If the program from which the student wishes to apply credit awards grades using a Pass/Fail or numeric grading system, rather than a letter-grade system, the credit may be accepted only if a grade of “Pass” or the numerical grade issued by the institution as the equivalent of a “C-” (70%) or higher. Prior to Spring 2023, D grades were accepted in transfer.
If a ԱհԲ® student enrolls in an 91Թ degree program, they will be under the degree program policies in effect upon admission. All course work listed on the ԱհԲ® will be evaluated according to their applicability toward the degree program the student enrolls in. Not all credits listed on the ԱհԲ® will apply toward a degree program (example: external D grades are not applicable to 91Թ degrees).
