Please note that transcripts must be official and sent directly from your former institution to be considered for transfer credit evaluation.
Transcript Evaluation
Once your official transcripts are received, the Registrar’s Office will evaluate them to determine transferable credits and recognize any degrees you’ve earned. Evaluations are processed in the order transcripts are received, so there’s no need to request an evaluation.
After your coursework is evaluated, you’ll receive a copy of your Transfer Credit Evaluation Form, which will help guide your academic advisement and planning.
If you believe additional credits should be transferred, you may request a reevaluation of your transcript. Please note: For reevaluation requests, you may be asked to provide a course syllabus or additional documentation for the course(s) in question.
