AOE Advising - Transfer Credit Request

To all Engineering Students

Are you interested in taking a class at another university and having the credit transfer back to Virginia Tech? If so, please keep in mind that the transfer course(s) must be approved in advance by the Office of the Associate Dean of Engineering/Academic Affairs, 212 Hancock Hall. Please read the following information about finding a school/transfer course and submitting the Transfer Credit Request form.

DEADLINES
You may submit the Transfer Credit Request form at any time during the semester. The deadline for requesting approval of courses for summer is May 1; June 1 for fall courses; Dec. 1 for spring courses. Allow at least 2 weeks for the review and approval process. If you plan to study abroad, allow 3-4 weeks for the international syllabi to be evaluated for approval.

EQUIVALENCY DATABASE
All courses must be pre-approved by our office even if the course(s) may show in the Virginia Tech Registrar's equivalency database. This includes Virginia Community College courses. Do not assume that the course(s) is approved for transfer credit toward your engineering degree just because it shows in the equivalency database.

Go to this website to select a school and/or course that you want to take and to see the Virginia Tech equivalent course: http://www.registrar.vt.edu/ under "General Information", "VT Equivalency Database"

The transfer guide for Virginia Community Colleges may be found at
