New Transfer students

• Transfer Credit Equivalencies - You can use our Course Equivalency Database to determine the transfer credit you will receive from courses taken at your current school.

Courses not included in the Course Equivalency Database will be evaluated during the review of your application.

We are not able to pre-approve courses not listed on the database for current or prospective transfer applicants.

Prospective transfer applicants should not complete the Transfer Credit Approval Form.The form is only for current, enrolled U-M students wishing to take a course at another institution.

• Other transfer credit - Transfer credit for AP, IB, A-level exams will be awarded for transfer students on the same basis as incoming freshman.
