Transfer Course Evaluation Form Instructions

The Transfer Evaluation Course Form is now available in an electronic format. We hope this will make it easier for faculty, staff, and advisors to submit transfer course equivalents that need approval from the faculty.

Deny equivalency (highlighted in the image above) must be completed before the section titled Equivalent Course will populate.

If you are an advisor or staff member filling out this form on behalf of a faculty member, you must attach a one-page approval from the faculty member in PDF format. Please keep this attachment to one page only. (See example below.)

Screenshot of email example from a faculty member recommending course equivalency for transfer credit. The recommendation reads, "It looks to me quite comparable to an Expo course—and given that it's a freshman writing seminar from a university, I'd have no objection to recommending it for 1213 credit. Signature includes faculty name, position, program/college and university.

Please do not submit the syllabus. Keep those for your records. Include any special instructions you might have in the designated box.
