Transfer Credit Evaluation Process

Steps to Take

 

All accepted coursework completed at previously attended colleges and universities will be posted to the student's record as part of the transfer process.The processing of courses will be done upon receipt of all of the student's official transcript(s).Transfer credit will only be posted once the student is admitted to the university.

The Transfer Evaluation System (TES) is a helpful guide for students and advisors which shows TSU course equivalencies from hundreds of colleges and universities across the country. This guide is subject to change as course content changes over time. It is important for students to understand that while courses will transfer, they may or may not apply toward your degree program. If a course does not appear in the list, then an official course equivalency has not been determined by the department as of yet. Courses and schools will be added to the list as official equivalencies are determined. A class listing on the TES website does not guarantee that it is currently offered at either school.

  • Courses equated to ELUD (ELective Upper Division) indicate there is no direct equivalencies and will transfer as upper-division elective credit.
  • Students will need to work with an advisor to determine how courses that are not listed or how ELLD or ELUD course will apply toward the degree program.
  • If you are attending a school that is not listed on the TES website you should check with the Admission's office to ensure your credits will be transferred by calling 615-963-5101.
