Transfer Credit

Course Equivalency

Missouri University of Science and Technology accepts transfer work from institutions that were formerly accredited by regional accreditors. According to the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), specifically:

  • Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges, Western Association of Schools and Colleges (ACCJC)
  • Higher Learning Commission (HLC)
  • Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE)
  • New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE)
  • Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU)
  • Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC)
  • WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC)

Use our online course equivalency database to determine if a particular course has an already established Missouri S&T course equivalency.  If the class is not listed, it does not mean that the class will not transfer to Missouri S&T; it simply means that the course has not yet been evaluated.  For questions about Course Equivalencies, please contact the Office of the Registrar.

  • Current Joe’SS users can access the Course Equivalency Database through the following paths:
    • Instructors/Advisors/Students - Self Service > Transfer Credit > Evaluate Transfer Credit

Student Transfer Evaluation

The Student Transfer Evaluation is a list of all courses you are transferring from other universities along with the Missouri S&T equivalents.  This report can be accessed through the Student Center on Joe’SS.  If you notice any omissions or have questions about how a particular course transfers to Missouri S&T, please contact the Office of the Registrar.

 

Transfer Credit Course GPA Adjustment Policy

Grades not included in the transfer institution’s GPA due to repeat or forgiveness policy may be removed from the Missouri S&T cumulative GPA upon verification to the Registrar’s Office.  No more than 15 semester hours will be dropped from the calculation of the student’s cumulative GPA.  Students must submit the Transfer Credit Course GPA Adjustment form found in the Registrar’s Office or on the web at http://registrar.mst.edu/forms/.

Missouri S&T is participating in the Core Curriculum Transfer Act, or Senate Bill 997. Courses that are part of the Core 42 project represent lower-division courses that transfer between all Missouri public universities.  Click here for more information.
