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.
