If you are planning to take a course at another institution while remaining enrolled at UVM, please consider seeking a transfer credit approval to ensure your credit will transfer. Please email transfer@uvm.edu with the course subject, course number, and course title of the course you would like to register for. We will also need to know where you plan on taking this course and if you are hoping this course will transfer as an equivalent match to a specific UVM course. You will receive a response in approximately 3-5 business days confirming if the course is transferable and what transfer credit you would be eligible for, or if we need a detailed course syllabus for further review.

Remember to register for both credits and grades. You need to earn a grade of C or higher to transfer the credit. Any course with a grade of C- or below is not eligible for transfer, including anything taken for pass/fail or audit. Regardless of the grade that you do receive, it is the credit only that will transfer. The only grades that will be used to calculate your UVM GPA will be the grades that you earn at UVM.

Once the course is over and your final grades have been submitted, you will be responsible for requesting an official transcript to the Office of Transfer Affairs. Those can be sent electronically to transfer@uvm.edu or via mail to the following address:

Office of Transfer Affairs
University of Vermont
85 South Prospect Street
360 Waterman Building
Burlington, Vermont 05405

Once your official transcript arrives, please allow 3-5 business days for processing. As soon as your credit has been updated to your UVM record you will receive an email in your UVM email account letting you know your record has been updated. At this time, you will also be able to view your transfer credit online by clicking the transfer credit link under the Registrar tab in your myUVM portal and in your degree audit as well.

Transfer Affairs works closely with the Catamount Core Curriculum Committee to review and approve courses that are applicable to meeting UVM’s Catamount Core General Education Requirements. If your transfer course is a direct equivalent to a UVM course, then the Catamount Core designation will follow the UVM approved course. If your transfer course is not a direct equivalent to a UVM course, you can submit a request to have it evaluated for a Catamount Core General Education Requirement through the following course fulfillment form.

Please be sure to check with an academic advisor to find out if and/or how those transfer credits can be used towards your UVM degree requirements. If you are attempting to transfer your final credits to graduate it is important to check with Student Services in your College/School to find out what their deadline is to see this transfer credit on your record. While there is no deadline to transfer credit, your college does have a deadline to certify you for graduation. It is your responsibility to know what this date is and to make sure all your official transcripts have been received 3-5 business days before that day.
