I took AP Exams in high school. Will I get credit for them?

To see if you get credit for the exams you took see http://www.admissions.umich.edu/admitted/freshmen/adv_credit/ap_guidelines.php

I took A level exams. How do I know what credit I received for them?

Go to the Undergraduate Admissions Office in the Student Activities Building for an assessment of the A-level credit.

My AP Test credit is not on my transcript. How do I get it put on?

Please verify with the Office of Admissions Credit Evaluations Division (734-763-1074) that you have indeed sent your scores to the University. If you have not sent your scores to the University, please contact the College Board Testing Center.

I took classes at a community college during high school. Can I get credit for them?

Incoming freshmen who took a course(s) at a college or university while dually enrolled in high school may potentially receive transfer credit. The guidelines for transferring credit in these situations include that the courses must:

a.) be taken at an accredited college or university

b.) be taken on a college/university campus

c.) be taken with other college/university students

d.) not be counted toward high school completion

Students seeking approval to transfer credit are required to submit a letter from their high school counselor verifying the above information. This will need to be submitted to the Office of Recruitment and Admissions at 1221 Beal Avenue; Robert H. Lurie Engineering Center, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-2106.



I want to take a course at a college or university near my home over the summer. Where do I go to find out what classes transfer to U of M?

  • For LS&A courses go to: http://www.lsa.umich.edu/students/transfer/equivalencies
  • For Engineering courses go to: http://www.engin.umich.edu/transferdatabase


I've found which class transfers and I'm ready to enroll. What do I do?

You will fill out the Michigan Uniform Undergraduate Guest Application which can be found here, http://www.macrao.org/GuestApplication/MichiganUniformGuestApplication.PDF

Once you have filled out this form you will need to submit it to the Registrar's Office to be completed. The Registrar's Office will mail your guest application to the school you will be attending. It usually takes them about 5 days to complete. If you have any further questions you will need to contact the Office of Recruitment and Admissions in 1108 Lurie Engineering Center.



The class I want to take isn't listed on the transfer equivalency database, what do I do?

If you cannot locate your selected institution or courses on the Transfer Equivalency Databases, you will need to submit a Transfer Credit Approval form. You can find the form here, https://www.engin.umich.edu/students/academics/transfercreditapproval/index.jsp

In addition, you need to contact your chosen institution to obtain course descriptions and syllabi for the courses. Email these to the CoE Credit Evaluator, Dawn Simpson, dlsimp@umich.edu, or bring them to the Office of Recruitment and Admissions (ORA), 1108 Lurie. Dawn will evaluate whether the course is equal to the same UM course. Please allow 1-3 weeks for courses to be evaluated, and call ORA with questions: 734-647-7101.



I wanted to take a class at UM Ann Arbor over the summer, what do I do?

The Registrar's Office will post Spring/Summer Term course schedules in March ( http://umich.edu/~regoff/schedule/ ) and you can register for Spring/Summer courses at the same time you register for Fall Term courses in April. Six credits per term is considered full time; you can take a maximum of nine credits each term.
