The Transfer Equivalency Portal database is designed to be a resource to identify potential transfer credit and associated University of Redlands course equivalents. Official equivalencies are determined by the Registrar's Office at the time of each student's evaluation. Transfer credits will be assigned based on the credits posted on the transcripts from the previous institution. The University of Redlands operates on a semester system, therefore quarter hours will transfer at a rate of 1 quarter hour to 2/3 semester credit.
Note: The Transfer Equivalency Portal is a comprehensive list of a growing number of equivalencies built for different colleges and courses. This list is for general information and is not an exhaustive list of all transfer equivalencies. Only grades of “C” or higher on traditional coursework from regionally accredited institutions will be accepted as transfer credit. In addition, it is in no way an official determination nor a guarantee of transfer credit awarded. Due to catalog changes at other institutions, all information contained within this database is subject to change at any time, without prior notification. All final decisions regarding the transferability of courses remain with the University of Redlands. If you have any questions about the transferability of your coursework, please contact the Registrar’s Office at registrar@redlands.edu.
Transfer Credit
Transfer credit policy
Subject to approval by the Registrar's Office, courses, but not grades, completed at other regionally-accredited institutions with a grade of 2.0 (C) or higher will be accepted for credit.
Transfer credit limits
From regionally-accredited 2 year colleges: 66 credits
From regionally-accredited 4 year colleges: 96 credits
To be considered for transfer credit, coursework must have been completed at an academic institution or program that was regionally accredited prior to the learner’s withdrawal from the institution.
Courses eligible for transfer will be evaluated using criteria such as the course credit total, department, title, level, and description of course content.
Credit awarded by other institutions through processes such as transfer, prior learning assessment (PLA) credit, or by examination will not be accepted for transfer credit at the University of Redlands.
Not all courses for which the University of Redlands may award transfer credit are offered by the University of Redlands but may be allowed to transfer in as general elective credit to programs that offer elective or are found to meet outcomes of the general education requirements in the undergraduate programs offered at the University of Redlands.
College Credit Earned in High School
Many high schools have arrangements with nearby post-secondary institutions, allowing students to take regular college courses while still in high school. The University of Redlands will accept credits for transferable courses if the courses are posted for credits on the transcript of the college where the courses were taken. Regardless of how many college credits are earned before graduation from high school, the student must go through the application process required of all entering freshmen.
International Transfer Credit for All Learners
International courses may be awarded transfer credit depending on the review by a University of Redlands approved third-party evaluator who will assess their equivalency to U.S. courses or degree programs. An official transcript must be submitted to complete the evaluation process.
