Transferable Courses


The Transfer Equivalency Portal is a database of pre-approved transfer courses. Additional schools and courses will be added continuously.
The Transfer Equivalency Portal database should be used as a guideline. Equivalencies are subject to change, are not guaranteed, and may count differently depending on a student’s degree program. Certain institutions and courses may not appear in our database. This does not mean that the courses will not transfer; only that they have not previously been presented for evaluation.
If you do not see your course in the transfer equivalency portal, please submit a Transfer Credit Approval form.
If your course is included in the transfer equivalency portal, DO NOT submit a Transfer Credit Approval form.
