Approving Transfer Credit
Department Chairs are responsible for reviewing potential transfer credit through
the Transfer Equivalency System (TES).
The Registrar's Office will send courses through TES for you to review and modify, if necessary. TES will be updated as course numbers, credit hours and course descriptions change. Important things to remember when approving transfer credit:
- If a transfer course is approved as equivalent to a Hope course, it will count toward the requirement just like a Hope course would count.
- If there is not an equivalent course at Hope, but the course is acceptable to transfer, it should be approved with the number 0100. This appears on the student’s transcript as general transfer credit.
- A student may request to use a transferred course numbered 0100 for a major, minor or general education requirement using the appropriate substitution form.
