Wondering how your existing credits will transfer to the University of Missouri‐St. Louis?

Transfer Guides

A Transfer Guide is a document for students pursuing an associate degree that wants to transfer to UMSL to pursue their bachelor's degree. These guides assist students in planning their degree pathway even before they attend UMSL.

Transfer guides are currently being updated and will be available before the fall 2025 semester. Please direct questions to Tami Davenport at davenportt@umsystem.edu or 314-320-4410.

Credit Equivalency Database

Students may use our Course Equivalency Database to determine how their credit may transfer to UMSL. Please be aware that this database is continuously developing as students submit transfer equivalency requests. So, if a course is not listed, it may simply mean that a student has never tried to transfer before with that specific course.

Please contact the Office of Admissions with any questions you may have about the information found on the Course Equivalency Database. If you feel any entry is confusing or incorrect, please contact us for clarification.

Articulation Agreements

Articulation agreements are a legal agreement between two colleges on how courses are transferred between the two schools. These agreements help students transfer easily between the two institutions.
