TES for Faculty/Staff

The Transfer Evaluation System (TES) is a tool to see how courses from other colleges and universities typically transfer to MSU.


TES may be used to obtain an unofficial indication of how courses from other colleges will be accepted for transfer credit at Morgan State University. It is important to keep in mind that TES is an unofficial course evaluation tool.

Morgan State University will officially determine transfer credit acceptance after students are admitted to the university and official transcripts from all previously completed coursework are received. The system is dynamic and continually updated as courses are reviewed. Additional information is available in the university catalog. Equivalency information available here is subject to change at any time and is not a guarantee of transfer.

Courses from other academic institutions may be determined to be:

  • Equivalent - This course is, essentially, the same as a course offered at Morgan State University and fulfills the same major and/or general education requirement(s).
  • Related elective within a department—This course has not been determined to be equivalent to any courses offered at Morgan State University; it MAY, however, fulfill major and/or general education requirements. Upon a student's acceptance to the college, the relevant department(s) can re-evaluate electives for possible equivalencies.
  • Free elective—This course has no equivalent at Morgan State University and does not fit into any academic department. The credits may transfer and apply toward the total number of credits required for graduation, but they will not satisfy major or general education requirements.


If a course equivalency is not listed, it has not been previously evaluated and will likely transfer in as an elective until the appropriate department has reviewed it.

Quarter credits are converted to semester credits (one-quarter credit equals 2/3 of a semester credit)

9 quarter hours = 6.00 credits
8 quarter hours = 5.33 credits
7 quarter hours = 4.66 credits
6 quarter hours = 4.00 credits
5 quarter hours = 3.33 credits
4 quarter hours = 2.66 credits
3 quarter hours = 2.00 credits
2 quarter hours = 1.33 credits
1 quarter hours = 0.66 credits
0.5 quarter hours = 0.33 credits
