Preliminary Transfer Credit Evaluation
This personalized roadmap shows how your previous credits transfer to Adelphi, helping you plan your path to graduation.
What is a Preliminary Transfer Credit Evaluation?
Your Preliminary Transfer Credit Evaluation is your first official look at how your credits from previous institutions will transfer to Adelphi. It’s a powerful tool to help you and your academic advisor plan your first semester and understand your path to graduation. Once we receive all your final, official transcripts, your evaluation will be finalized and will become the basis of your official Degree Audit.
Understanding Your Preliminary Transfer Credit Evaluation
You will receive an email notification as soon as your evaluation is ready. You can find it by logging into your Application Status Portal.
First, confirm that all institutions you’ve attended are listed, including any for Advanced Placement (AP) or dual-enrollment credits.
If anything is missing, please upload an unofficial transcript directly to your portal so we can keep your application moving. An official transcript will also need to be sent directly to us by your school. If you have any questions, your admissions counselor is here to help.
This is the total number of credits that have been applied toward your Adelphi degree.
Remember, we accept a maximum of 90 total transfer credits—with a maximum of 64 credits from a two-year institution and 30 credits from high school.
Your transfer credit evaluation shows how your transferred credits apply to Adelphi’s PATH (general education) requirements. You’ll see which requirements you’ve already fulfilled and which are still needed.
Completed an Associate’s degree? You may have your PATH requirements substantially met or waived.
Your academic advisor is your partner in this process. Once you’ve reviewed your evaluation, share it with your advisor to plan your remaining PATH and major requirements and confidently register for your first semester.
Use your evaluation to choose classes that keep you on track for graduation.
You’ll see how each of your individual courses transferred.
- Course Equivalency: Courses often transfer as a direct equivalent to an Adelphi course or as general elective credit
- Grade Policy: Credit is typically awarded for grades of C- or higher in subjects analogous to those offered at Adelphi
- Non-Transferable Courses: Seminar, orientation, remedial, or vocational courses usually do not transfer
If you had courses in progress when you applied, they will appear with 0 credits and a grade of “IP.”
Once your final official transcript with grades is received, these courses will be evaluated, and your evaluation and degree audit will update automatically.
