Prior To USF Transfer Credit Request
Please use this link to request updates or changes to your transfer credit from institutions attended prior to enrolling at the University of San Francisco. Once submitted a member of the Office of the University Registrar team will review your request and respond to you within 5-10 business days. Please be advised that in some circumstances, you may be asked to provide additional documentation such as a course syllabus.
Make sure that you've sent your most updated transcripts to USF. USF can only transfer classes that show a final grade for each class. Classes with grades of "In Progress" cannot be transferred. Please send transcripts to appservices@usfca.edu.
The Office of the University Registrar only evaluates Core curriculum and elective transfer credit. They cannot award credit for your major. It is important for you to review your major transfer credit with an academic advisor to avoid repeating courses for which you have received credit. Please note, the Rhetoric and Composition (Core A2) and the Community Engaged Learning (CEL) requirements must be completed at USF.
Do Not Use this form for AP, IB, major, minor transfer credit:
For AP questions, email appservices@usfca.edu
