Course Equivalency Spreadsheet

Please share the following message with your department.

I am writing to remind you of an existing resource and share a new one – both are supposed to help with advising regarding transfer credit evaluation.

The first resource that has been around since 2015 is markings, post-it notes, and most importantly, course equivalency worksheets of reviewed transcripts that are available in Perceptive Content (formerly ImageNow). This resource provides answers to the following questions frequently asked by students:

 Has my transcript been received and/or reviewed?

1. What courses did I receive credit for?
2. Why is there a delay of my received transcript evaluation?
3. Who is my transcript evaluator should I want to ask them directly about my transcript evaluation?

 

The information above is also accessible in Banner, but access varies and navigation to those Banner tables may be discouraging to some. Therefore, we transcript evaluators take the extra mile to make markings, post-it notes, and equivalency worksheets available in one place for you. If you have not taken advantage of this resource, I encourage you to do so.

The new resource I would like to share with you is the Course Equivalency Spreadsheet. We used to have a web-based course equivalency database through Transfer Evaluation System (TES) of CollegeSource, but it has not been updated for a while and has been taken down. The new Course Equivalency Spreadsheet is exported from Banner monthly and contains approved course equivalencies from incoming transcripts. New equivalencies are added on a continuous basis as transcripts come in. To access the spreadsheet, please click HERE. To view equivalencies of one particular institution, filter the INSTITUTION column. Please note one course may be repeated several times because it is attributed to different categories.    

If you have any questions about these resources, please let me know.

Regards,

Access to MC’s Transfer Course Equivalency Database is now available!

Students, counselors, advisors, faculty and staff can now access MC’s Transfer Equivalency System (TES) Database. This is an online, searchable database of how courses transferred into MC are equated. These equivalencies are extremely helpful when working with students transferring credit into MC or when working with students seeking permission to enroll elsewhere.

For access, visit the MC Credit for Prior Learning website (www.montgomerycollege.edu/priorlearning), and click on “Transfer Credit from US Colleges and Universities”.  A link will take you to the TES site.

Search by institution (or use the alphabetical list) to find the sending institution. Click on the institution name to see a list of courses that have already been evaluated. Courses will either be listed as a direct equivalency, as an elective, or as fulfilling a general education distribution/foundation area.

Courses will be added on a routine basis.

These courses are for equivalency purposes only and do not guarantee transfer of coursework. That determination is made primarily based on grades earned, intended major at MC, number of credits being transferred, and other policies. The site and content are maintained by Enrollment Services.

If you have questions or notice an error, please email Phuoc Dang at pdang19@montgomerycollege.edu. (And please join me in thanking Phuoc and his team for their time and effort in getting this project going!)

Thanks,

Seth

Transfer Credit and Credit for Prior Learning Webiste is LIVE!

In case you didn’t see InsideMC this morning, the new Prior Learning website is live! This site includes information on transfer credit, AP/IB/CLEP/DSST exams, Military Credit, CBE exams, and CTE credit.

You can see the site at http://www.montgomerycollege.edu/academics/credit-for-prior-learning/index.html (and I’m still working on the direct URL: www.montgomerycollege.edu/priorlearning.) It’s also available on the pull down menu’s on the main website and in the search function under “prior learning”. This site replaces all current Prior Learning and Transfer Credit sites.
