Transfer Credits
The TCEL (Transfer Credit Equivalency List) is a database containing the Clemson University course equivalencies for approximately 1,200 accredited colleges and universities nationwide. Course equivalencies are based upon faculty evaluation during the past five years. Please be advised the TCEL is only a history of how courses have transferred to Clemson; it does not represent a comprehensive list of transferable course work for any school. The listing for each college shows course equivalencies only and does not reflect any differences in credit hours between institutions. Questions about a specific equivalency should be directed to the Office of Admissions.
