Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which courses transfer?
ANSWER:
The online Course Equivalency Guide (CEG) shows how coursework is accepted at Arizona State University (Main, East, and West), Northern Arizona University and the University of Arizona. Credits transfer a few different ways:
Direct Equivalency - a course that transfers as a specific course. (Example: Mesa Community College's ENG101 transfers to ASU as ENG101).
GEN CRD = "Elective" - a course that transfers but does not have an equivalent course at the transfer institution and does not count as credit within any particular department or major. In this case, the credits for the course count as elective credits toward the degree you may pursue at the transfer institution.
DEC = "Departmental Elective Credit" - a course that transfers as a "XXX DEC" counts as an elective credit in the department. For example, "ACC DEC" counts as an elective credit in Accounting. It does not count as a particular Accounting course; however, it will apply towards the overall number of credits you earn in the area.
NOT XFR = " Nontransferable". A course that is not accepted in transfer to the institution.
Special Symbols and Abbreviations in the CEG:
The symbols used for General Education (UA), General Studies (ASU) and Liberal Studies (NAU) are defined by each institution. Contact a Maricopa advisor for information about these university designations.
