Transferology is a nationwide network designed to help transfer students answer a fundamental question, such as “Will my courses transfer?” Students can enter college coursework, exams, and/or military learning experiences to understand how many schools in the Transferology network have matching courses that may be granted credit when the student transfers. Schools are ranked by the percentage of transfer coursework that each institution accepts for each student.

The first time you access Transferology, you will be prompted to create an account. You will need to enter your first and last name and email address to create an account. 

Once you create a Transferology account, you will add each course you completed, or plan to take, at the school(s) from which you are transferring coursework from. Once your courses are added to your Transferology student profile, click the “Search for Matches” button. The option will not only list how courses transfer to Illinois Tech, but it will also list other institutions with their percentage match. The course equivalent results are unofficial but can be helpful to plan out your courses. Consult with your academic adviser and transfer admissions counselor to confirm course transferability. Official course credit evaluations will be completed at the time of undergraduate admission to Illinois Tech.

Click the large “% Match” icon to the left of your search results to view which courses have been articulated as equivalents. The “Matches” tab will show all courses that have pre-defined transfer equivalencies. The “Misses” tab will show courses that have yet to be evaluated as possible transfer equivalents.

Current Illinois Tech students who need to take a course at another institution and transfer back to Illinois Tech must consult with the Office of Undergraduate Academic Affairs and obtain approval to take courses elsewhere. Students who may take a course elsewhere can use Transferology and the “Find a Replacement Course” option to search for possible course replacements. To begin exploring, log into Transferology and click the “Find a Replacement Course” header, then enter the Illinois Tech course you are looking to take elsewhere. Click the “Search for Matches” button to view courses from other schools that Illinois Tech has determined as possible equivalents to the courses you need.

Illinois Tech accepts up to 68 credits from Illinois Articulation Initiative-designated courses that apply toward an admitted student’s major. However, Illinois Tech does not require the completion of an associate’s degree and instead evaluates transcripts on a course-by-course basis as they relate to the intended major at Illinois Tech. We encourage students to utilize our published transfer credit guides when selecting courses prior to transfer. Students who complete an associate's degree may be taking courses that might not be needed for their degree at Illinois Tech. Please feel free to consult with the Illinois Tech transfer team at transfer@iit.edu for more detailed information.

Illinois Tech accepts transfer credit for courses that are deemed equivalent to Illinois Tech courses required for our programs. Courses may be acceptable for transfer credit from other accredited colleges and universities provided that they are comparable in nature, content, and level to those offered at Illinois Tech and the grades are the equivalent of a C of higher. A grade of C- is not acceptable for transfer credit. A maximum of 68 applicable credit hours is transferable from a two-year institution.

In most cases, credit will not be granted for experiential learning or for career and vocational courses, except through agreements for programs within Illinois Tech's School of Applied Technology.

Official credit evaluations are completed by the Office of Undergraduate Academic Affairs after a student is admitted to the university. Until then, students are encouraged to utilize our published transfer credit guides. If your school is not listed, then please feel free to utilize our Transferology account or contact the Illinois Tech transfer team.
