Previous Credits and Training

Are you curious to learn how many of your previous college credits will transfer to Mason and what resources are available to help ensure your success as a student? Mason has a number of tools to help you determine how much credit you will receive at Mason.

Admissions Transfer Matrix

The Admissions Transfer Matrix contains courses that have been evaluated to offer transfer equivalency at the University, including all courses from the Virginia Community College System.  Here, you can look up each of your community colleges courses one-by-one to see how they transfer to Mason.

VCCS Mason Core Equivalencies

If you are transferring to Mason from a VCCS school, you may find it helpful to determine which VCCS courses will fulfill Mason Core requirements.  The Center for Academic Advising, Recruitment, and Retention (CAART) maintains a Mason Core-VCCS Equivalency searchable table.

BAS Transfer Guides

Transfer guides for several of our concentrations can be found in the Prospective Students section of this website.

Your Academic Advisor

The BAS academic advisors are happy to assist prospective students with determining course equivalencies.  Email your concentration’s advisor for assistance.

Evaluation of Military Credit, Credit by Examination, and International Transfer Credit

Mason’s policies for these forms of credit can be viewed in the Transfer Credit Policy.

Transfer course equivalencies may change. The tools above should be used as general guidance, but all final determinations regarding transfer equivalencies will be made by Admissions when you are accepted to Mason.  Be sure to review Mason’s Transfer Credit Policy thoroughly.
