Transfer Credit Equivalency

College-Level credit has the potential to transfer to the University of Missouri - St Louis in one of three ways. First, as a direct equivalency, meaning the credit will transfer in and be equal to a course offered here at UMSL. Second, as hours earned. Here, the class may not have an equivalent course taught at UMSL, but you will receive an equal number of “elective” hours to count towards the total 120 required for graduation. Third, all other completed, college-level course work will be consider Free Elective credit. Free Electives are only used when determining a student’s admissibility to the University but do not count as course work or hours earned towards their degree.

Students may use our Course Equivalency Database to determine how their credit will transfer to the University of Missouri - St. Louis. Please be aware that this Database is developed as credit transfer with students. So if a course is not listed, it may simply mean that a student has never tried to transfer beforewith that course.

Please contact the Office of Transfer Services at (314)-516-5162 regarding any questions you may have about the information found on the Course Equivalency Database. If you feel any entry is confusing or incorrect, contact us for clarification.
