Transfer To:
When searching for course equivalents, the following fields will populate:
- Campus: indicates the receiving campus where the course will transfer.
- Equivalent: indicates the subject and number of the equivalent course. If the column is highlighted and linked, it indicates the course is listed in the current University-wide catalog. A “GE” symbol indicates the course meets a general education requirement at the receiving campus. Click the link for a course description and additional information.
- Course Title: indicates the course equivalent title at the receiving campus.
- Distance: indicates the distance in miles between the source and receiving campuses.
Additional Course Information: Expand the course record by clicking the arrow next to the receiving campus logo. Details will include the record source, the effective starting date of the course equivalency, and credit award guidance.
In certain instances, there may be a signpost icon in the column to the right. This column will contain pre-defined notices and notes that pertain to the course equivalency. Notices include information about 1-to-many, many-to-1, and many-to-many course relationships. In some cases, specialized notes may appear to indicate a course is part of a series.
