Transfer Credit

Classes taken abroad do not affect a student’s QPA at Carnegie Mellon. Transfer credit is awarded upon receipt of an official transcript for courses in which a “C” or better has been granted. Business courses require a grade of "B" or better. Credit can be granted for general education requirements or major requirements, at the discretion of the relevant academic departments.

Transcripts should be sent to the Office of International Education. OIE will notify students when the transcript has been received, forward a copy of the transcript to the relevant academic department(s), and send the original to Enrollment Services.

Departments will notify students when transfer credit has been awarded. Students should follow up with their academic advisor(s) to ensure that the transfer process is complete.
