Transfer Credit for Current Students

Transfer Credit Equivalent Database

Undergraduate students can review established course equivalents in our Transfer Credit Equivalent Database. Transfer equivalents are reviewed and updated daily, so the equivalents posted in the database are not official. An official credit evaluation is provided to students within 10 business days after acceptance, provided an official college transcript is received.

How to Use the Database

Access the Transfer Credit Equivalent Database
Enter the name of your prior institution into the Institution Search box OR find the school listed in the A-Z index.
Click on the name of your school. All courses with Montclair equivalents are listed.

Additional Information

Course Notes: Some course equivalents have attached Notes, which will provide additional information about the equivalent. Courses with Notes have a check mark in the Note column. To view the specific Note, either click on the hyperlink of the course or add the course to My List.
Create My List: Add courses to My List by clicking the box on the right side of the course. After selecting your courses, click on Add/View My List to fully understand the equivalency. This list can be exported to excel, emailed to yourself, or cleared out by selecting the appropriate icon on the top of My List.

Missing an Equivalent?

Courses not listed in the database have not yet been evaluated for equivalency. This does not mean the course is not transferable, rather, it just needs to be reviewed. In general, as long as a course is acceptable to the University, the course will be equated to, at minimum, free elective credit. The official course evaluation will take place after the student is accepted to the University. Please review the Undergraduate Transfer Policy to learn more about acceptable credits and view Exam Credit Equivalency Tables
