Evaluation of Transfer Credit

The Office of Admissions completes course-by-course transfer credit evaluations for new transfer students approximately 6 weeks after admitted students confirm their enrollment. All transfer students are responsible for providing their final transcript to the Office of Admissions. The University reserves the right to revise a transfer credit evaluation at any time.

  Use this database to review previously evaluated transfer courses to Mason. Please note that this database is dynamic; we are constantly updating course equivalency data. While this data is as accurate and current as possible, the University retains the right to re-inspect any evaluation for which new information comes to light during a student's first semester of enrollment at Mason.
• Transfer Credit Inquiry Form may be used if you have NOT received a transfer credit evaluation or if you are missing credit for particular courses on your evaluation. Please return the completed form directly to the Office of Admissions.
• If you have received a transfer credit evaluation and transfer credit was denied for particular courses, complete the Transfer Credit Re-Evaluation Appeal form. Submit completed forms to the Mason academic department that offers the coursework from which you wish to receive credit. Re-evaluation of transfer credit based upon an approved appeal will take six weeks from the date of receipt. Revised credit evaluations will be available via Patriot Web.
