Transfer Credits to UND
We want you to bring every credit you can and graduate with pride from UND.
What credits transfer from college to college?
Transferable credit is defined as college-level credits completed (or in progress) at the time of application with a grade of "D" or above. Credits must be earned from an institution accredited by a regional or national accrediting organization recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), including the American Council on Education (ACE).
Credits transferred from schools that use a quarter or other system will be converted to semester credits.
UND's academic departments will determine if the transferred credits will apply to your specific major and degree program.
Courses that do not qualify for credit at UND include, but are not limited to:
- Remedial or preparatory courses
- Credit granted for life experience by other institutions
- Institution-based credit by examination
- Non-credit continuing education courses
- Pass/fail courses
Transfer Credits Tools
See how your college credits may transfer to UND by using these resources.
Step 1: Determine if your institution has an agreement with UND
UND developed program agreements with several institutions to aid in the transfer process. These agreements will help you see exactly which courses are guaranteed to transfer to UND and your major from our partner schools.
Step 2: Search the Transferology course equivalencies database
If your school doesn't have an agreement with UND, search our extensive database with thousands of undergraduate courses from around the country. Use it to see how the courses at the institution you are transferring from will transfer to UND.
If your course isn’t listed, as long as it’s earned at a regionally or nationally accredited institution, it may still be evaluated for transfer credit.
