Credit Evaluation

Once you enroll at the University of Mississippi, we will evaluate all previously completed coursework. All accepted credits will go toward your permanent academic record. In addition to showing completion of general requirement and degree coursework, accepted credits will be factored into your cumulative GPA.

Please note the following about the credit evaluation process:

1. Outside of fulfilling general education requirements, individual schools or colleges at the University of Mississippi will determine which credits will be applied toward your degree program.

2. Credits by examination can count toward no more than half of the hours required for your degree program. The University evaluates Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), CLEP, Cambridge Assessment International Education program, advanced standing examination, and placement examination scores, in addition to educational experiences in the Armed Forces.

3. If you’re attempting to transfer credits from an institution located outside of the U.S., you’ll need to submit official transcripts to the University and World Education Services (WES) for evaluation. Transcripts not in English will need to be translated ahead of time.

University policy on the transfer of credit hours is described in the Academic Regulations chapter of the Undergraduate Catalog under Transfer Credit.
