Transferring Courses

Below are some resources for when the need arises to transfer a course to earn general education (GE) or major or minor subject or elective credit at the University of La Verne. Always consult with your academic advisor before taking a course in transfer.

The University Registrar normally decides on general education or elective credits, but academic advisors will make decisions about major or minor credit(s) in transfer. A course that may qualify for major or minor credit should be accepted as an elective course at the very least by the Registrar to allow the academic advisor to use the course(s) for subject credit in the major or the minor. We strongly recommend that you also review the Registrar’s Transfer & Evaluation Center website.
