Please read this information thoroughly in
order to familiarize yourself with the transfer credit evaluation
process. It is essential that you understand the
policies and procedures of the credit evaluation process.
The credit evaluation process begins with a transfer student submitting
a Transfer Credit Evaluation Form to the Office of Undergraduate
Admissions. This form lists all of the courses the student wishes
to have evaluated. Course syllabi from the respective institutions
where these courses were taken are also required (Course descriptions
from catalogs are not sufficient). The more information a student
provides, the better chance they have of receiving credit.
The course names and syllabi are submitted to Stevens faculty for
review at which time they will indicate the Stevens course equivalents
and return the completed information to Undergraduate Admissions.
Admissions then seeks final approval from the Academic Dean. Upon
receipt of the Dean's approval, Admissions notifies the student
via mail of the results, as well as provides the Registrar with
the information so that it may be incorporated into the student's
academic record.
Credit Evaluation Policies
The following guidelines will be adhered to when evaluating transfer
credits:
- Students must receive a C or higher in order for the credits
to transfer.
- Students with credits earned 5 years or more from their date
of attendance will be evaluated for credit on a case by case basis.
- Foreign language credits are not transferable.
- Stevens Institute of Technology does not guarantee that credits
earned elsewhere will fully satisfy the Stevens course requirements.
Student Rights
- Students have the right to a fair and quick assessment of their
credits.
- Students have the right to an appeal of their evaluation provided
it is completed within the deadline dates listed on your credit
evaluation.
- Once the assessment of transfer credits is completed by the
Office of Undergraduate Admissions, a student may request to have
additional credits evaluated through the Registrar's Office.
Student Responsibilities
- It is the student's responsibility to respond promptly to requests
for additional information needed by Stevens.
- Students must adhere to all deadlines.
