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:

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/.
