MIT Transfer Credit Information
Perhaps you have already taken
courses at an accredited college
or university, or plan to in
the near future. If you have
completed studies beyond the
level of the traditional secondary
school curriculum, you may
be eligible to receive MIT
transfer credit and, where
appropriate, advanced placement.
To have non-MIT studies considered
for transfer credit, you must
request that the college or
university send an official
transcript
directly
to the Staff in the Office of Undergraduate Advising and Academic Programming. In addition,
you need to provide supporting
materials, specifically course
syllabi and catalog descriptions
for each class. For mathematics
courses, a photocopy of the
table of contents from the
textbook is also required.
Any
course not documented by an official
college/university transcript
will not be accepted for MIT credit. This
includes:
- Courses listed on a high
school transcript, even if
they were taken in a college
- Courses documented with
a letter from an instructor
or principal in lieu of an
official college/university
transcript
The
Institute may not accept transfer
credit for all subjects, and transfer
credit guidelines described on
our Class
of 2012 site are
subject to change from year to
year. Please
feel free to contact staff in
the Office of Undergraduate Advising and Academic Programming if
you have any questions.
All materials should be sent
to the following address:
