Transfer Credit

SIU is a transfer student-friendly institution and transfer students make up a large segment of our student population. Our Articulation and Evaluation supports this effort with the following:

• Maintains the articulation database for over 5000+ transfer institutions
• Establishes program articulation agreements and transfer guides with university and community college partners
• Maintains master course file catalog

The transfer student can expect our evaluators to determine transfer hours and grade point average (GPA) for admission purposes within 24-48 hours of receiving your transcript. Once admitted, a full evaluation is done and course equivalencies posted to the record in 3-5 business days. This process includes:

• Evaluate transfer courses, including proficiency credit for University Core Curriculum (UCC) credit under the supervision of the Director of UCC
• Facilitates review and approval of all transfer courses with the corresponding academic unit
• Applies transfer credit to the student's SIU record
