Course Transfer Credit

Transfer Credit

Students transferring courses to NMSU should request the registrar at the institution where the course was completed send official transcripts to the NMSU registrar. Questions concerning course equivalency can be answered through the NMSU Transfer Equivalency Guide.

Transfer Courses

  1. Transfer credit towards core courses (defined by the NMSU College of Engineering to be “required departmental, discipline-related courses within the major”) must be similar in both (1) content covered and (2) prerequisite requirements.  
  2. The transfer course must be a component of an ABET-accredited engineering program.  
  3. Examinations in the transfer course must be proctored.  
  4. Approval must be obtained from your Department Head in writing BEFORE enrolling in the course.

To formally request approval to transfer a core course from another institution, you must complete the Engineering Transfer Course Request Form.

In addition to these requirements, the course must conform to the transfer course policy of the NMSU College of Engineering.
