Transfer Credit
Understanding transfer credit requires not only access to what has already been evaluated (which you can find on the Transfer Equivalency Charts below), but also understanding of the process and requirements for anything you don’t find on our charts.
Below, you will find the transfer charts, the policies and process, and some other resources in addition. The “Transient Approval” section is for students who are already here at Auburn but who want or need to take a course or more elsewhere and transfer it back. For students who are transferring to Auburn from another public institution in the state of Alabama, the “Alabama Transfers” page includes state-wide articulation information. And, for students who have questions about credit they may have earned through testing such AP, IB, or the ACT, the charts for those are here also.
In-State Transfers
For students transferring from any other public institution in the state of Alabama, we have two resources for you here. Alabama Transfers is the statewide transfer resource which includes transfer guides for those at Alabama Community Colleges and transfer equivalency charts between public institutions. Auburn’s Area V Pages are Auburn major-specific guides about what courses to take at an Alabama Community College to prepare for transferring to Auburn.
