Transfer Course Equivalency Guides

These guides allow you to search previously transferred courses from institutions in the U.S. and abroad.

Instructions: Select your current institution from the drop-down menus and click search. Courses are arranged in alphabetical order by the course abbreviations of the transfer institution. University of Arkansas equivalencies are listed to the right of each entry. All courses that have previously been transferred to the University of Arkansas will be listed; however, this may not encompass every possible course. Courses listed as NOTR 9999 do not transfer to the University of Arkansas. Those listed as 199T, 299T, 399T or 499T will transfer, but application to a specific degree program will be determined by the college offering the degree.

You can petition up to 6 hours of "D" grades to potentially work toward your degree.

Petition for Equivalency

This allows you to petition courses currently evaluated and posted as 99T courses for UA equivalency.
