Credit:
- Transfer credit is awarded in semester hours;
- Grades from your previous institution(s) do not transfer;

Courses taken while in high school:
If you have participated in a concurrent or dual enrollment program while in high school, official transcripts should be sent to the University of Connecticut directly by the participating college or university. Credit will be considered for transfer, but some restrictions can apply. Mathematics courses must be at the calculus level or above to be considered for transfer credit. In addition, online laboratory science courses are not transferable. UConn considers all courses completed in partnership programs for transfer credit in keeping with NACEP standards.
UConn Early College Experience (ECE) Credits:
UConn students must meet with their academic advisors in order to elect to move credit earned through UConn Early College Experience to the degree portion of the academic record. Policies about which grades transfer and deadlines vary by schools and it is important to review these policies before you make the choice. The deadline is typically at the end of the first semester on campus. If you do not make a choice, the credit is automatically moved in most schools. The choice to move or not to move, and force an automatic move, is irreversible.
Please view the Transfer Credit Guidelines for all transfer credit policies. For information regarding restricted credits, visit the Undergraduate Catalog's Academic Regulations.
