Transfer Credit Equivalencies

 

Current UM students and incoming transfer students can check course equivalencies by using the Transfer Credit Equivalency tables. Transfer credit may be posted as an exact equivalent to a UM course, departmental credit, or interdepartmental credit.

If you don’t see a course listed in the tables, there is a process for having it evaluated.   Be sure to review all transfer credit policies and procedures before registering for a course at another school.  Current students hoping to use transfer credit to meet UM requirements must consult with a general or concentration advisor in advance.
