Transfer Credit and Applicability of Your Transfer Credit

Did you know that there is a difference between the phrases transfer credit and applicability of transfer credit?

Did you know that your transfer credit might not apply directly toward your major?

This section will answer some of the transfer myths that you might have.

Transfer Credit—Transfer credit means that the credit hours from another school will be added to the total hours at Wright State. Your credit will “transfer” as long as your school and courses meet certain criteria (visit the FAQ for more information).

Applicability—Application of transfer credit means that the credit hours from another school will count toward your degree at Wright State. The applicability of your eligible transfer credits depends on:

• Course equivalencies previously established between schools
• Decisions made by academic advisors
• Decisions made by each major/college

Transfer.org is a useful online tool for you to figure out the applicability of your transfer credit. 

Transfer.org
This online tool provides you with information about the applicability of your credits to degree programs available at Wright State. Creating/Requesting a plan will identify individual course equivalencies.

Are you still attending another institution but planning to transfer in a future term? You can also run a cross-reference audit to see how the available courses at your current institution apply to specific degree requirements at Wright State.

Signing up for transfer.org is free. You can store your previous school work for your convenience. 

All course equivalencies from other schools for Wright State degree programs are maintained by Wright State University. So you can be confident that the information is accurate.

You can take your audits to advising meetings as well.

Attention: If your school is not listed on transfer.org, it doesn’t mean that your credits are non-transferable. Speak to a transfer counselor in the Transfer Student Center or your major department/college about your transfer credits. 

Information on AP, CLEP, DSST, and Excelsior College Credit by Examinations is not included in the Transfer.org website. So make sure to check out the Wright State's credit-by-examination website for course equivalency information.
