Upon completion of your initial evaluation, you will receive an email to your 麻豆社 email account with your Transfer Credit Evaluation (TCE). This document will outline what credits were accepted by the university and how the credits will apply to your new degree. If some courses are not registered in our system as transferable, you may follow the steps within that email to request the courses to be evaluated for transfer credit consideration by the academic departments responsible for the subject.
*Please note, you will only be able to meet with an academic advisor after the TCE is complete.
