The Course Credits section displays how courses have been transferred to the University of Nevada, Reno. If you’ve transferred courses from more than one institution, each academic institution will be listed as a separate Model Number.

In general, the evaluation of courses from each institution attended is posted in the Transfer Credit Report within three weeks from receipt of transcript. This evaluation is normally initial and updates may occur upon further review of your courses by the Transfer Center as well as by your academic advisor.

For transfer applicants, those who have submitted all their transcripts are prioritized for evaluation. If you believe that you’ve submitted all your transcripts but do not see anything in your Transfer Credit Report, please check your To-Do List in MyNevada for any missing transcripts. You may need to provide more information to Admissions and Records to locate your transcript.

If your Transfer Credit Report is blank or incomplete after the timeframe mentioned above, please email mynevada@unr.edu.

If either the University of Nevada, Reno does not offer a direct equivalent of a transfer course, or if faculty/staff have not previously evaluated the course, it will receive the LELC (lower-division elective credit) or UELC (upper-division elective credit) designation with the appropriate departmental prefix. Students must meet with their advisor if they wish to use courses initially evaluated as elective credit (LELC or UELC) to satisfy specific course and/or Core Objective requirements on the Academic Requirements Report. Please provide a copy of the course syllabus for your advisor to attach to the evaluation request.

“CO” stands for “Core Objective.” The University’s Core Curriculum has 14 Core Objectives (CO) representing the competencies that every University of Nevada, Reno graduate must acquire. The number after CO stands for the specific objective the class satisfies.

When used as a requirement designation, a CO4 in a course means that it will satisfy Core Objective 4 unless there is a specific course required in the major.

Visit the Core Objectives webpage for more information and to identify which COs your classes satisfy.

These requirement designations refer to the former way of identifying classes that meet Core Objectives. CMAT stands for Core Math and CFA stands for Core Fine Arts. These designations still work and any course with these designations will satisfy the requirement as long as there is no specific course required in the major. For more information on the other requirement designators you might see, visit the general education requirements page for more information.

Credits are generally awarded for college-level courses completed at regionally accredited institutions.

If your courses came from a nationally accredited institution, they will not automatically transfer and will all show as rejected. However, your advisor will review your coursework and determine if any of the courses you took is relevant to your academic program. They will need to be approved by the Dean, Department Chair, and the Director of Admissions and Registrar.

If you completed work at an institution that was not regionally accredited, you may not receive credit for that work. If you took remedial or developmental courses elsewhere, you will not be awarded degree credit for that work regardless of the accreditation status of the transfer institution.

The University honors the grade values that the transfer institution uses and will load the grade value that is in the student record as long as it is available in our system. For example, if an institution’s C+ is equivalent to 250, this is how it will show in the student record. However, we are unable to load an A+ or any grade value higher than 400 or a D- with a value of 050 or anything lower than 070. They will instead be loaded with 400 and 070 grade values, respectively, otherwise, they will not get credit for the course.

Most institutions, however, use the same grade values that the University uses as follows:

400 = A

370 = A-

330 = B+

300 = B

270 = B-

230 = C+

200 = C

170 = C-

130 = D+

100 = D

070 = D-

030 = D+

000 = F

In general, 1 quarter-system credit is roughly equivalent to .67 semester credits. To calculate how your quarter system credits have transferred to semester credits, multiply the number of quarter system credits by 0.67.
