* A course equivalent listed with “TR” (e.g., ACCT 116TR or ACCT 316TR) represents a non-direct equivalency in the specific discipline indicated. "116TR" signifies lower-level credit (100-299), and"316TR" signifies upper-level credit (300-499).
‡ This equivalency is available for graduate students only. This certification may help you waive a program admission requirement that 15 credits of undergraduate accounting course must be taken prior to enrolling in the program.
† You may earn credit for different courses based on your chosen academic program. If you have any additional questions about this process, contact your academic advisor or success coach.
§ FOLA 116TR or FOLA 316TR serves as a placeholder for foreign language exams. "116TR" signifies lower-level credit (100-299) and "316TR" signifies upper-level credit (300-499). The actual language (e.g., FREN, SPAN) will be reflected, and credits awarded depend on the score and the date of the exam.
Δ This course may be transferred in on your AAR/Transcript as "100-###" (such as CMIT 100-320). This signifies that the coursework taken is equivalent to CMIT 320, but had to be transferred in at a lower-level. In the case of CMIT 100-320, you may get credit for CMIT 320, unless your program requires a certain number of "higher-level" and "lower-level" credits.
