We know that transfer students have worked hard to get here and we will work with you to make your transition to Mason a positive experience.
Mason takes pride in the academic rigor that makes us All Together Different. We want to make sure that you get the credit for the work you’ve completed while maintaining the academic standards Mason is known for.
The Office of Admissions is responsible for awarding undergraduate transfer credit and completes course-by-course transfer credit evaluations for all admitted transfer students.
We have developed an extensive list of tools and resources to help you understand the credit transfer process.








Transfer Credit Inquiry Form
Use the Transfer Credit Inquiry Form if you believe eligible transfer credits are missing from your evaluation. This includes credit by exam such as AP, IB or CLEP.
Before submitting this form, be sure you have requested official final transcripts to be sent from the Registrar at your previous institution to Mason’s Office of Admissions or electronically to ugtrans@gmu.edu and have read and understood the criteria for credit acceptance.
Transfer Credit Re-Evaluation Appeal Form
Use the Transfer Credit Re-Evaluation Appeal Form if you were awarded elective credit for a course and wish to have it re-evaluated by the academic unit to transfer in as a specific Mason course.
For courses denied any equivalency, including elective credit, contact your advisor to determine if your course meets criteria for a substitution or waiver through the Office of the Registrar.
