In conjunction with appropriate review bodies, the Office of the University Registrar evaluates and records the amount of transfer credit and advanced placement test credit an undergraduate can apply toward graduation requirements. Stanford awards credit based on course work completed at U.S. colleges or universities accredited by a regional accrediting association; or course work completed at international colleges or universities of recognized standing. Credit may also be awarded for certain Advanced Placement programs, International Baccalaureate Program, GCE, French Baccalaureate, and the German Abitur examinations.
See the "Advanced Placement" section of this Bulletin for information concerning Stanford's policy on credit for Advanced Placement work. Details on how to request credit for advanced placement examinations are available at the Registrar's Advanced Placement site.
Undergraduate Transfer Work
Academic credit for work done elsewhere may be allowed toward a Stanford bachelor's degree under the following rules and conditions:
Credit may be granted for work completed at institutions in the U.S. only if the institutions are regionally accredited.
Study in institutions outside the U.S., when validated by examination results, tutorial reports, or other official evidence of satisfactory work, may be credited toward a Stanford bachelor's degree, subject to the approval of the credit evaluator and the appropriate departments. See the Registrar's web site for additional information regarding transfer credit requests for course work completed abroad.
Credit is officially allowed only after the student has been unconditionally admitted to Stanford.
Credit is allowed for work completed at institutions in the U.S. only on the basis of an official transcript received by the Registrar at Stanford directly from the institution where the credit was earned. In order for transfer credit to be awarded, students must submit an official transcript that clearly indicates all of the below information for each course:
Course codes/numbers
Course titles or descriptions
Final grades earned
Course credits earned
Credit from another institution may be transferred for courses which are substantially equivalent to those offered at Stanford University on the undergraduate level, subject to the approval of the credit evaluator. A maximum of 20 quarter units may represent courses which do not parallel specific undergraduate courses at Stanford, again, subject to the approval of the credit evaluator as to quality and suitability.
Course work cannot duplicate, overlap, or regress previous work.
Transfer course work cannot count towards secondary school diploma and/or graduation requirements.
For students interested in fulfilling a Ways of Thinking/Doing (Ways) breadth requirement through transfer work, transfer courses are reviewed to determine if courses can be certified to fulfill Ways requirements. Requests for fulfilling Ways requirements in transfer require pre-approval prior to course enrollment and the pre-approval requests must be submitted by the quarterly deadline in the quarter prior to the term in which students intend to enroll in the transfer course, as defined on the Ways web site. Courses must be taken for a minimum of 3 quarter units (2 units in the case of Creative Expression only) and must be taken for a letter grade.
For transfer students admitted in 2015-16 and later, a proportion of their Ways requirement must be fulfilled at Stanford. Based on the number of qualified transfer units awarded at matriculation, students must complete a number of Ways courses to fulfill the Ways requirement as outlined in the “Transfer Credit for Ways” section of this bulletin.
For students who are subject to the previous GER system in place prior to Autumn 2013-14 who want to fulfill general education requirements through transfer work, a proposed transfer course must match a specific Stanford course that fulfills the same GER requirement; it must be a minimum of 3 quarter units and have been taken for a letter grade.
Transfer work can be used to satisfy a department major or minor requirement. The transfer work must first be officially accepted into the University through the Office of the University Registrar. After the transfer credit has been approved and posted by the Office of the University Registrar, the departments determine if the approved transfer work can be used to satisfy a department major or minor requirement. Students should consult with their departments about a program's transfer credit policies/procedures.
The Application for Graduate Residency Credit is reviewed by the department and the Office of the University Registrar. For transfer credit done under a system other than the quarter system, the permissible maximum units are calculated at an appropriate ratio of equivalence (i.e. credit is converted into quarter units). One semester unit or hour usually equals 1.5 quarter units.
