Transfer Course Equivalencies


Undergraduate Transfer Admissions is responsible for transfer credit evaluations and bases its decisions on the best information existing at the time of evaluation. Revisions to course equivalencies sometimes occur as new information becomes available. No transfer credit evaluation is official until credits appear on the student's University of Connecticut transcript. Please bear in mind that changes and additions to the information contained on this site are made when necessary. We encourage you to visit our site often and to consult with your academic advisor for final determination as to how specific courses might apply to your degree program.


Transfer credit is awarded in semester hours. Grades from your previous institution(s) do not transfer. At UConn, the course numbering system is as follows:


0000-0999 Courses in the Ratcliffe Hicks School of Agriculture
1000-1999 Introductory courses
2000-2999 Usually with no more than one prerequisite, intended primarily for sophomores
3000-3999 Advanced undergraduate courses, intended primarily for juniors and seniors
4000-4999 Advanced undergraduate courses, intended primarily for seniors

More information on the course numbering system is available in the Undergraduate Catalog


Transfer courses are either considered equivalent to courses offered at UConn (the course is assigned a four-digit course number in a UConn department and you will find the equivalent course listed in the UConn General Catalog); or, are assigned a generic five-digit course number beginning with the number ‘9’ (e.g., PSYC 91000 indicates credit for a Psychology 1000 level elective).
