Frequently Asked Questions: Transferring Credits

Will my Advanced Placement (AP) or Early College Experience Program course credits transfer to UConn?

How can I receive advance credits from UConn?

You may be eligible to receive advance-standing credits from UConn if you have taken: (1) college-level courses offered in a high school (ECE) partnership program, (2) courses taken for academic credit at any college or university on a part-time, non-matriculated basis (nine credits or less per semester), (3) “A” level exams or equivalent given in Europe and other international counties, or (4) courses offered through military services schools. Make sure to send your official transcripts to the Undergraduate Admissions office for evalulation.

I’m a transfer student. Will all my previous coursework count toward my UConn degree?

You will receive an evaluation of your previous college work via mail before your arrival at Orientation or at advising during your Orientation academic advising session. Your transfer credit evaluation will be used when you meet with an advisor to register for classes. If you receive your evaluation before your scheduled Orientation session, please bring it with you to facilitate your academic course selection. We also recommend that, to save time, you bring all catalogs from the previous colleges or universities you have attended in case they are needed.
