Advisors

Evaluating Credit

Students are encouraged to seek assistance from Academic Advisors to determine the correct form, and the appropriate department from which to seek evaluation of their transfer credit. Encourage the student to make an appointment with the evaluator and to take a printed copy of the form. Remind the student to take course documents (in English) such as syllabus, description, textbook/chapters to the appointment.

Specific forms are used depending on the properties of the transfer institution. Use the descriptions in the box to determine the appropriate form. Scroll down for forms and the Department Directory of Transfer Credit Evaluators.

Students will need one form per department (math, physics, etc.) Each course must be evaluated by the department which offers corresponding credit at UNL.
