Courses at Another Institution

Other Institutions

After degree-seeking students have matriculated at Stevenson University, transfer of courses from other institutions requires advance approval on the "Request to Take Courses at Another Institution" form that is available through forms.stevenson.edu. Students are strongly advised to consult with their advisors prior to seeking permission to take a course at another institution to determine how the course applies to their degree audit. Credit may not be given for courses that are taken at another institution when the student has not gone through the course approval process. For information about how courses transfer to Stevenson please see ARTSYS Maryland’s Articulation System or TES the Transfer Evaluation System from CollegeSource.  Equivalency questions may be sent to transfereval@stevenson.edu.

The following guidelines apply:

1. Students may take no more than 3 courses at another institution once they have begun attendance at Stevenson. Lecture/laboratory courses count as one course. Study Abroad courses are not considered a part of the 3-course limit.
2. Courses may not be taken elsewhere during fall and spring semesters if they are being offered at Stevenson during the same semester.
3. All major requirements must be taken at Stevenson University. Any exception requires permission from the Academic Program Administrator of the student's major.
4. Only courses in which the student has earned the minimum grade will be accepted.
5. Courses that are taken elsewhere will appear as transfer credit; a letter grade will not appear on the Stevenson University transcript. The letter grade will not be included in the calculation of the cumulative GPA.
