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.
