The usual processing time for credit evaluation is approximately one week from the date you are accepted. However, the process may take longer during peak times (beginning and ending of semesters). Early submission of transcripts allows for earlier advisement and registration planning.

Once your official transcript has been received by the Records Office, it will be forwarded to the Transfer Credit Evaluators to be evaluated. Once your transcript has been evaluated, you will be notified by T-Wolves email as to what has been accepted. You will also see any accepted transfer credits listed in your Degree Works evaluation. Transfer credits will appear on your transcript with a grade of “T”. The “T” carries no point value, therefore, it is not considered when calculating the semester, degree, or cumulative GPA. Transfer credits carry earned hours only.
