Complete rules and guidelines concerning transfer credits are available in the Georgia Tech Course Catalog. Only official transcripts from other schools may be used to evaluate and/or award credit.
Requesting Transfer Credit for Courses Not Previously Evaluated
- Check the online equivalency database for updates. New evaluations are posted daily.
- Notify the Office of the Registrar's Transfer Credit Department of any not-awarded credit. Send an email to comments@registrar.gatech.edu
- Using the Transfer Credit website, submit courses for evaluation.
Exchange Programs
Students going on a Georgia Tech exchange abroad program for a semester or summer must use the Exchange Credit Approval (ECA) form for Georgia Tech exchange programs to request approval for foreign courses to transfer to Georgia Tech before going abroad. Transfer of credit from a foreign university requires students to complete coursework abroad with a certified grade equivalent of C or higher. The ECA form can be found on the OIE website.
After returning from abroad, students must submit courses for evaluation via the Transfer Credit portal if they are not already listed in the equivalency tables.
Non-GT Study Abroad
Courses taken during non-Georgia Tech-approved study abroad and exchange programs are subject to all transfer credit policies. If the international institution and/or course is not listed on the equivalency table, students will be required to submit a comprehensive course-by-course assessment as well as a grade point average (GPA) equivalent evaluation with an official transcript. A list of approved credit evaluation service providers is available on the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services website. Credit is dependent on the evaluation, and the Registrar’s Office will not evaluate non-Georgia Tech abroad credit before an official transcript and foreign credit evaluation are received.
International Summer Programs
Georgia Tech does not accept credit from international summer programs, including but not limited to Sichuan University, Xian Jiaotong University, Shanghai Jiao Tong, Yonsei, KAIST, and Korea University. If you have any questions about an international transfer institution, contact dc@registrar.gatech.edu.
