Transfer Credit Evaluation

Please visit the Registrar's webpage on transfer credit for information and transfer credit policy.

When your transcript arrives at the Georgia Tech (GT) Registrars Office, it is evaluated, and the awarded credit is posted to the student's academic record.

To view your transfer credit awarded, go to https://registrar.gatech.edu/current-students/transfer-credit and follow the steps for Viewing Transfer Credit. The document contains term-by-term information on the courses you took at another school and the equivalent courses at GT.

Please review your account to verify that the credit has been awarded before requesting a duplicate transcript.

Only courses with C or higher grades will be transferred to GT. Courses taken on the pass/fail basis will not be transferred to GT. Note that the transfer credit evaluation will be done AFTER you have been admitted to GT.

A student cannot receive transfer credit for a course previously taken at Georgia Tech. Please read the transfer credit policy.

If you attended a college or university outside of the United States, you may have to get the courses evaluated by an approved outside evaluation company before going through the evaluation process on campus.

 

Proctoring Standards for Transfer Credit 

Since Spring 2025, the School of Mathematics has required that at least 75% of the course grade come from proctored assessments in all introductory-level math classes. Thus, as a balance of fairness, this proctoring standard also applies to certain transfer courses. 
 
In order to transfer math credits from other accredited colleges and universities to Georgia Tech, the School of Mathematics sometimes requires proof that at least 75% of the course grade was computed from proctored assessments. This requirement will be enforced when EVERY condition below has been met: 

  • The course taken is not listed as giving Georgia Tech credit on the transfer equivalency table,  
  • AND the student completed the course after matriculating to Georgia Tech,  
  • AND the course was taken in the United States or Canada, 
  • AND the course corresponds to one of the following Georgia Tech mathematics courses: 1551, 1552, 1553, 1554, 1711, 1712, 2550, 2551, 2552, 2603, 3012, 3215, 3670, 
  • AND, if the course corresponds to a Georgia Tech mathematics course at the 1000-level, it was NOT taken at a university which is on at least one of the below lists: 
    • Georgia Tech’s Dual Degree Engineering Program (DDEP; list here) 
    • The University System of Georgia’s Regents’ Engineering Pathways (REP) Program (list here) 

If a course meets all of the above criteria, but does not satisfy the proctoring requirements, transfer credit will not be awarded.  However, students may instead opt to take a credit confirmation exam (CCE) to attempt to earn course credit, as described below.  
 
For assistance in determining whether proctoring standards apply to a particular course, please consult the following flowchart, which visualizes the information provided above.  

 

 

 

 

 

Credit Confirmation Exams

CCEs are in-person, on-campus exams similar to the final exams for the corresponding Georgia Tech course. Students should be aware of the schedule for CCEs: If students take some Course A elsewhere in Summer 202X, that is subject to proctoring requirements and does not satisfy them, then: 

  • If the course corresponds to Math 1551, 1552, 1553, or 1554, then students can take a CCE in August 202X and, if successful, enroll in a course for which Course A is a pre-requisite in Fall 202X. 
  • If the course does not correspond to Math 1551, 1552, 1553, or 1554, then the earliest possible CCE students can take is in mid-fall 202X. In particular, they will not be able to enroll in a course for which Course A is a pre-requisite until Spring 202(X+1) at the earliest. 

Students should also be aware that, in order to sit for a CCE in some Course A, they must have completed the Georgia Tech pre-requisites for Course A (courses in progress count for meeting a pre-requisite), even if these courses are not a pre-requisite for Course A elsewhere. 
 

CCE Eligibility and Guidelines

CCEs are offered exclusively to students who completed a corresponding course at a different university, which satisfies all of the requirements for transfer credit at Georgia Tech, except that it is both subject to and does not meet the proctoring standards above. Additionally, students should take careful note of the information and requirements below.

A: Information 

  1. The School of Mathematics will offer credit confirmation exams (CCEs) for courses subject to proctoring requirements: MATH 1551, 1552, 1553, 1554, 1711, 1712, 2550, 2551, 2552, 2603, 3012, 3215, and 3670. 
  2. CCEs are free of charge. 
  3. CCEs for a given course will be offered two or three times per year:  
    1. On the Friday before the start of fall classes (at the same time at the Mathematics New Student Placement Examinations): Math 1551, 1552, 1553, and 1554 ONLY. 
    2. Mid-Fall Semester (at the same time as fall Advanced Standing Exams, typically in October): All courses in the list. 
    3. Mid-Spring Semester (at the same time as spring Advanced Standing Exams, typically in March): All courses in the list. 
  4. All CCEs will be in-person at a Georgia Tech campus, with no exceptions. 
  5. Students must bring their Georgia Tech ID (Buzzcard) to the exam. 
  6. The School of Mathematics will provide exam related information after the CCE application decision deadline via email. Generally, calculators and notes are not allowed. 
  7. The School of Mathematics will not provide instructor details, extra materials, or practice exams for the CCE. 
  8. If a student is eligible to take a CCE for 2551, the student may elect instead to take the CCE for 2550. 
  9. If a student is eligible to take a CCE for 1554, the student may elect instead to take the CCE for 1553. 

 
B: Eligibility requirements and Exam guidelines 

  1. A student cannot take a CCE if they have taken the course at Georgia Tech and received any grade in the course, except for a W. 
  2. A student must be in good standing at the request date and at the exam date. 
  3. A student must currently be enrolled in classes at Georgia Tech during the term of the CCE (except for the August sitting of 1551, 1552, 1553, and 1554 CCEs, for which students must be enrolled in Fall courses at Georgia Tech, but do not need to be enrolled in Summer courses at Georgia Tech). 
  4. A student cannot take more than 2 CCEs in Mathematics in a single term. 
  5. Students will not be allowed to take a CCE in a course for which the prerequisite(s) has not been met. Courses in progress count for meeting a prerequisite. 
  6. Students will not be allowed to take a CCE in a course if they earned D or F or W grade in the prerequisite course(s). 
  7. Students may attempt to receive credit via examination only once per course. This includes Credit Confirmation, Advanced Standing, and New Student Placement Exams.   
  8. Credit confirmed by CCE will be recorded as transfer credit, and subject to regular transfer credit requirements and limitations.

  6. Forms will be processed, and students will receive an email with further directions at that point if they are approved to take the exam. 
  7. Students should email exams@math.gatech.edu with questions or concerns. 
  8. Students will receive CCE results by email before registration opens for Summer and Fall 2026. 

 

Equivalencies among Georgia Tech Math Courses

Please read the Math Course Equivalencies page for transfer courses for the old core and for the New Math Core Fall 2015.

Some Math courses may transfer as Math courses no longer taught at Georgia Tech but which are equivalent to current Math courses. (For example, MATH 2401 Calculus III (4 hours) is equivalent to MATH 2551 (4 hours) Multivariable Calculus.)

Please consult with your academic advisor about the mathematics requirement for your major.
