How many credits will I receive?
You will be awarded the number of credit hours you elect at the other U.S. institution. All transfer credit hours are converted to semester hours (i.e. 1 quarter hour = 2/3 semester hours).

What does the pre-evaluation mean?
Equivalent Course: If the course descriptions match closely, you will receive for the specific equivalent course at the U-M. However, some departments do not allow course equivalent credit.
Departmental Credit: If the course description does not closely match a U-M course, but still clearly falls within a certain department, the credit will be called departmental credit.
Inter-Departmental Credit: If the course description indicates that the course had a very broad range of topics, incorporating several different departments, but still falling mostly in one of the general areas of study: Humanities, Social Science, or Natural Science, you will receive inter-departmental credit.

For an official credit evaluation, at the end of your out-of-residence study, you must have an official transcript sent to:
