Course Equivalency Tables
UT has provided course equivalency tables so students can see how courses may transfer. UT encourages students to keep syllabi for courses listed on their institution’s equivalency table as LD or UD elective credit. Students will need this information if they choose to petition for equivalent academic credit. For more information, see Evaluation of Course Credit.
Tables have been developed to provide students with information on how courses from their institutions transfer to UT.

UT has provided me with a seamless transition, offering exceptional support services and a warm campus atmosphere, making my time here as a Volunteer a time I will never forget.
