Transfer Credit Resources

How do my courses transfer to UMD? Do I get credit for my AP course?

UMD and Swenson College departments want to ensure student success. Determining how college level credit completed outside of UMD is awarded, becomes a factor in aiding academic success. 

Course topics and sequencing vary at institutions across the nation; which means academic preparation may differ. With some courses, this can be important to academic success. At UMD, courses from other institutions are reviewed by faculty to determine how/if the course transfers.

Start the process by sending test scores and official transcripts to UMD Admissions.

  • Advanced Placement Credit (AP) scores should be sent directly from the College Board/AP (Get and send AP Scores).

  • Request Official transcript(s) be sent directly from the college(s) that awarded course credit(s).

Understanding Transfer Credit

  • Credits count in three categories: liberal education requirements, major or minor courses, and elective credit.

  • The liberal education program will be considered complete if an Associate in Arts (A.A.), the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC), or Baccalaureate degree is indicated on an official transcript submitted from the transfer institution.  

  • In some cases, further evaluation of your courses may be required by faculty in the corresponding department. We recommend you save course materials from your classes, especially the syllabus, which will aid in evaluating the course(s).
