Transfer Credit

Miami University recognizes the differences in educational systems and takes these into account when placing international undergraduate students at the appropriate level in their degree programs. Academic credentials are evaluated within the context of the educational system of the country where the student has studied. Comparisons are made with educational programs in the U.S., and students are placed at levels that are suitable to their educational background.

The following information should be submitted to have any previous studies at a non-U.S. institution tentatively evaluated for transfer credit: 

  • A copy of your up-to-date university academic record (transcript) showing all courses completed and grades.
  • Course descriptions and/or course syllabi for each subject considered for transfer credit from a non-U.S. post secondary institution.The descriptions should include a list of required readings, the number of class hours required for each course, and the length of the academic term(s) when enrolled. Since the academic departments at Miami University determine whether credits earned abroad will be accepted as equivalent to courses offered at Miami University, credit is awarded on a subject-by-subject basis.

Students transferring from a U.S. institution may find more information about how to request a transfer credit evaluation
