Transfer Credit Evaluations

UNH Undergraduate Admissions

 

Transfer credits are evaluated at the time of application, and students will receive a preliminary transfer credit evaluation two to three weeks from the date of acceptance. The academic department to which the student applied will make a final determination of transfer credits. Evaluation of transfer credit is based on the following criteria:

  • Credit will be considered only for transfer courses that are equivalent to UNH courses or electives; all accepted credit must pertain to UNH degree requirements.
  • Credit for the course must have been earned at a regionally accredited institution.
  • Course grade must be a "C" or better. Credit is not awarded for pass/fail courses.
  • Remedial, technical, and vocational courses do not transfer to the University of New Haven.
  • Students may transfer a maximum of 60 credits from two-year institutions and a maximum of 90 credits from four-year institutions. Credits for courses above the maximum threshold must be approved by the Dean of the College a student is seeking entry to. 
  • A student's final 30 credits must be earned in residency at UNH to receive a degree from the university.
  • All credits are subject to final approval of the Registrar's Office and the academic department.

We strongly encourage transfer students to contact us or to meet with a transfer counselor to discuss transfer credits and/or to request an academic worksheet for their program of interest.
