Transfer Credit Database
To identify how evaluated coursework transfers to WVU, please reference the transfer credit database (downloading and installing the launcher is required) .
If you are having difficulties opening the database, you may access the established equivalencies in the following Excel spreadsheet.
Institutions and courses that are not found within the database simply have not been evaluate d at this point. Coursework may be evaluated using WVU's Transfer Equivalency Review Request (TERR) system.
Requesting Coursework to be Evaluated
Courses may be evaluated and added to the WVU Transfer Credit Database by utilizing the Transfer Equivalency Review Request (TERR) system . In most cases, the review process takes 5 to 10 business days.
The WVU Office of the Registrar is able to determine certain equivalencies at the 100/1000 (freshman) and 200/2000 (sophomore) level. If you have 5 or more courses at or below the 200/2000 level, please utilize the following spreadsheet and email transfercredit@mail.wvu.edu the list for an initial review. You will be notified of our findings, and if further review through TERR is necessary.
Please review the requirements for submitting a request as incomplete requests will cause a delay in evaluation.
