Transferology Logo

Transferology makes it easy to see how previous coursework applies to your program at Western. If you don’t see an exact match, don’t worry—your credits may still transfer seamlessly. Our Transfer Evaluator can help clarify any questions.

Important: Transferology provides an unofficial review. Your official transfer credit evaluation happens after admission and submission of official transcripts.

Credit Evaluation

Once admitted and after submitting official transcripts, Western will complete your transfer credit evaluation. This is where we review each course you’ve taken and match it to the most equivalent class at Western. We try to transfer in as many of your credits as possible so you get the credit you’ve earned and don’t lose progress toward your degree.
