Transfer Requests

Transfer Credit for Use in Your Engineering Major

For Transfer Pre-Approval: Fill out the SoE transfer form. Pre-Approval is recommended for any course you propose to take for your SoE major to ensure the course is equivalent to the requirement you want to replace.

Courses taken in person or for undeclared students: You can use the Course-to-Course process for getting your general ed, math, physics, biology, and introductory CS transfer credit equivalences evaluated; it is a Registrar's Office process and you will find the option on the Student Services Transfer page. Once approved, these transfers will be added to your MAP record directly by the Registrar; there is no need to also petition via the SoE process.

Online courses or for declared/Intended major in the SoE: For SoE breadth science courses taken online and for engineering at the level of ENGR Fundamentals, you may use the School of Engineering transfer process by submitting the SoE transfer form. We will coordinate the evaluation process, and track/ensure accuracy of the credit in your program. Once these transfers are pre-approved for use in the major, you have completed them, and you have sent your official transfer transcript to the Stanford Registrar: Notify the Dean’s office so they can request confirmation that the transfer has been approved there. After that process is complete, the units will be manually added to your MAP record. This can take time, so please be patient.

Departmental Transfers: Use this SoE Departmental Transfer form if you wish to use transfer credit to fulfill a depth/core/depth elective course in the major.

Note for graduating seniors: Relying on transfer credit taken during your final quarter can present problems of timing. It is very common for transfer transcripts to arrive too late to be processed in time for conferral deadlines, meaning graduation can be delayed. If this is your situation, confer with the Office of Student Affairs in 135 Huang for advice or email soeundergrad@stanford.edu.
