For most lower division courses the Admissions Office or the Registrar, upon review of a transcript, will automatically give credit for courses taken at other institutions. Otherwise the student must convince an instructor in the appropriate department at Tech that the non-resident course is equivalent to a course here. You should check at a later date to make sure the form did indeed reach the Registrar. You will be notified of the outcome of your request by e-mail. Please feel free to check on the status of your request at any time.
Transfer credit appears as the initial entry on a student's transcript.
Where credit is granted for a course which has content identical to a Georgia Tech course, the Tech course number will be listed. If the credit is for a course which does not exactly match a Tech course in content or hours, the listing will be in a generic form, such as Math 3xxx. In order to qualify for this option, you must complete the undergraduate degree with a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher and complete the master's degree within a two-year period from the award date of the bachelor's degree. A student who for any reason has remained out of school more than two semesters must apply for readmission. To apply, a completed Application for Readmission must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar, prior to the deadlines listed in the catalog .
