Understanding Your Transfer Credit Evaluation

Taking time to read and understand your evaluation will assist you when you are preparing to meet with your academic advisor. Please take your transfer credit evaluation to your advisor meeting.

Reading your credit evaluation

When you view the evaluation of your credit, you will see that each college you have attended will be evaluated and listed by attendance period and college name. For example, if you attended college A from fall 2007 through spring 2008 and college B from fall 2008 through spring 2009, the first college evaluated on your worksheet would be College A for attendance period 200740 (fall 2007). This first grouping of evaluated courses would be followed by College A for attendance period 200820 (spring 2008), College B for 200840 (fall 2008) and College B for 200920 (spring 2009).

You should have received your BearPass Number with your admission letter. This BearPass Number is required to set up your My Missouri State account. You may login to your My Missouri State account at my.missouristate.edu to view your transcript, which will show your transcript totals, attempted hours, passed hours, earned hours, GPA hours, quality points and GPA. It will also reflect your total institution, total transfer, and overall GPA, which is helpful in determining your registration date. For more information, please contact your academic advisor.

General education program (GEP) course codes

General education program (GEP) courses fulfill Missouri State general education requirements as indicated below, but do not have a specific Missouri State University course equivalency. Refer to the general education requirements in the Missouri State catalog or on our General Education website to see how the GEP categories correspond with those requirements. Some majors and degrees require specific general education courses that the GEP code may not cover, which means even if you receive GEP credit, you may still have to take a specific MSU general education course for your major. For more details, please speak with your academic advisor.

Professional education unit (PEU) course codes

If a course does not have a direct equivalency, but the Missouri State College of Education decides that substantial similarity exists between a course taken at the community college with a DESE approved education program and an Missouri State course with respect to MoSTEP competencies, a professional education program (PEU) code will be assigned to that community college course and used to substitute for the Missouri State course in a given undergraduate education degree program.

Students who wish to appeal the evaluation or transferability of a PEU course may do so through the College of Education within the Education Advisement Center, Hill Hall Room 202. Students who are not pursuing a BS in Ed, whose evaluations show PEU courses, should go to the Office of Admissions for reevaluation for elective credit.
