            Transfer Credit

            Create and manage transfer equivalency relationships and the entire transfer credit process from a unified interface in Education Cloud that automatically matches and suggests credits. Registrars can use the guided process to review submitted documentation and to articulate transfer credit requests. Applicants request estimates for transferable credits directly in the application portal on the Experience Cloud site.

            Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions with Education Cloud

            Provide eligible applicants with the means to accelerate their learning journey, helping them save time, effort, and fees by granting transfer credits. The registrar staff can consider an applicant's transfer credit application if the applicant has:

            • Prior learning experience from another educational institution in the same or similar offering
            • Relevant work experience that qualifies them to be of higher academic standing
            • Certifications from recognized institutions or assessment standards, such as prior learning assessments or the College-Level Examination Program
            • Military experience

            Registrars configure a Transfer Credit stage in admissions applications to receive transfer credit evaluation requests. Applicants can request transfer credit estimates for prior learning directly on the Experience Cloud application portal. To request estimates, applicants enter prior learning details and upload supporting documents. If they received unofficial transfer credit estimates from the Transfer Credit Agent, applicants can reuse these to prefill their applications. When an applicant submits their information, the application automatically creates official transfer credit requests.

            When the applicant enrolls, the approved transfer credits apply toward their program requirements.

            Example: Prospective applicant who wants to transfer to your institution

            John, a transfer applicant, is seeking to transition from a sending institution (community college) to your university's Computer Science program. During the admissions cycle, John submits his official academic transcripts for a formal transfer credit evaluation.

            The Office of the Registrar reviews his coursework to determine articulation. They analyze his Math 181: Calculus 1 (4 Credits) against the university's MATH 31A: Differential and Integral Calculus (4 semester units). By reviewing the course syllabus and learning outcomes, the registrar establishes a direct equivalency.
