Transferring Credit

CredTran

Use CredTran, our online database, to check transferability of courses and create an unofficial report of your potential transfer credit.

Begin by selecting the location and school, then use the search bar to enter course information to see equivalency results.

To create a personalized list of your transfer courses, check the box next to each course you want to save, then click the "My Saved" button. You can then email or print this list for future reference. Multiple schools can be selected to create one report from all schools attended.

Additional Information

If a course is not found on CredTran, please send an email to transfercredit@ku.edu to request an evaluation. If you believe the initial evaluation for a course listed on CredTran is inaccurate, please submit a Request for Re-evaluation of Transfer Credit. If a course’s content or hours have changed, KU will need to review the course since the last evaluation.

Helpful Tips for using CredTran:

We recommend using Safari or Chrome.
Learn more about Transfer Codes. When a course is transferable, but KU does not offer an exact equivalent, we use a lettered transfer code. Ex. BUS U or HIST AH.
Search in a variety of ways! You can search by Course Number, Course Name or General Education Goal:
- KU Core Goals (GE11, GE12, GE21, GE22, GE3H, GE3N, GE3S, AE41, AE42, AE51)
- KU Core 34 Goals (ENG, CMS, MTS, NPS, NLEC, NLAB, SBS, AH, USC, GLBC)

Transfer Credit Policy:

Lower-Level & Upper-Level (JR/SR) Credit. The originating institution defines the level of credit for a course. A lower-level course completed at your original institution may match an upper-level course (numbers 300 and above) once transferred to KU, but would still retain lower-level credit on your record, and vice versa. All community college courses transfer as lower-level credit. See KU's policy on Course Level Transfer.
Minimum Grade for Transfer Credit. Transfer credit with grades of D+ and below are not applied towards degree requirements. See KU's policy on Transfer Coursework Minimum Grade.
