Transfer Course Information
To review transfer course information and policies, please find information in the catalog here.
The Transfer Equivalency Portal (TES) 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. Click here to access the Transfer Equivalency Portal.
If you do not see your institution and/or course listed on the transfer equivalency portal, please submit a Transfer Credit Approval form for manual review and approval. If your course is included in the transfer equivalency portal, DO NOT submit a Transfer Credit Approval form.
Please review more information regarding transfer policies in the catalog.
