For college courses taken at the college campus:

• A grade of C or better must be achieved in the course.

• A course syllabus must be provided prior to the evaluation.

• An official college transcript with the course listed and grade achieved must also be provided.

• The course must be approved for transfer by the appropriate Stevens academic department.

For courses taken at the high school for which a college is giving credit:

How to submit a course for credit evaluation:

Enrolled first-year students are granted access to Workday Student and through this system will be able to submit all college-level courses for which they request to be evaluated for credit by Stevens. In order to have previous college coursework evaluated for credit, students must have the following prepared to submit:

• Official college transcript(s) for all courses to be evaluated for credit

• Syllabus for each course to be evaluated for credit

Once an enrolled first-year student is given access to Workday Student and completes the onboarding process, the instructions to request a credit evaluation are as follows:

1. For all courses, Go to Workday Student and select Requests in the applications section on your homepage.

2. Complete the Application for Transfer Credit request with information about the course you would like to transfer to Stevens Institute of Technology (a separate request must be submitted for each individual course). Information on submitting the application for transfer credit can be found here

3. Please attach the course syllabus to the request. A syllabus is an academic document with the following elements: course title, course number, credits, location, time, textbook, and an outline of course subjects. The syllabus should also defines expectations and responsibilities for coursework covered. Course descriptions from academic catalogs are unacceptable and will not be evaluated.

4. Students must send an official copy of their college transcript listing the courses they have requested to have evaluated for credit and the grade they received in each class to the Undergraduate Admissions Office.

5. The request for each course will be processed by the Office of Undergraduate Academics and evaluated by the academic department, if necessary. All approved requests are then sent to the Office of the Registrar.

6. The Office of the Registrar will check approvals and process the request for transfer credits once the official transcript is received to award transfer credits.

Information on how to check the status of your transfer credit requests that have been submitted can be found here.

For a timely review, all materials and Application for Transfer Credit requests should be submitted by June 30.

If you are enrolled in an AP course where you have the choice to receive dual enrollment credit from a college or university without completing the AP exam, Stevens Institute of Technology will need additional documentation regarding the relationship between your AP course and the dual enrollment credit. Please contact: [email protected] to discuss your specific situation.
