Course Clearance

It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that transfer courses will satisfy BYU Marriott requirements.

View Business Transfer Guide

For business courses that have not been evaluated, transfer students may submit a request to have a course evaluated. Email a complete course syllabus, student name, and BYU ID number to msb_advisement@byu.edu. The evaluation process typically requires at least two weeks. 

Update Student Record

Once business courses have been evaluated and cleared as equivalent courses, transfer students must submit a progress report discrepancy form to request that their academic records are updated to show transfer course equivalencies. Requests will be processed within 1-2 weeks.

Transfer Course Policies

  • Courses transferred from other institutions to fulfill prerequisites will be discounted three-tenths of a grade point for the application process (e.g. an A becomes an A-).
  • A maximum of six upper-division credits can transfer for upper-division requirements.
  • No transfer credits will be applied to a core class.
  • No D credit or below accepted.
