Transfer Credit Equivalencies
This is a very detailed, individualized process; your patience is appreciated. In order to help the process along, please:
- Send your final transcripts as soon as possible.
- Send any AP scores you have.
- Review the core pages. Compare these pages with the preliminary transfer evaluation from your admissions packet to gain an understanding of how your courses match up with Calvin’s core.

Understand Calvin's transfer policy before registering for the pre-approved transfer equivalencies.
Calvin’s language requirement
Calvin’s World Languages I core requirement can be met:
- By finishing the second college semester (Beginner II) of any one language.
- With a high school exemption for having three sequential years in high school (Bs or better).
- If you are a multilingual student, the requirement is waived (as indicated on your application to the university).
If you have some language experience you will take a world language assessment prior to orientation (some assessments have a written on-campus portion during orientation). This will help us best determine your language level.
