Students who want to register to complete courses at another institution must process an “Authorization for Study at Another Institution.” This form approves coursework equivalency so that transfer credit applies to Guilford as agreed and also serves as a letter of good standing to the host institution.

Guidelines for Transfer Credit Most community colleges and 4-year schools have very similar names for their courses. The transfer matrix should be pretty complete, but the following is meant to help you in understanding some of the confusion of weird course names that crop up. At least those I have seen. It may also help you figure out how to make students feel comfortable with the course choices presented. Intermediate Algebra - This is uniformly a pre-algebra course. It does not transfer in as credit for any 4-year school to my knowledge. Refer the student to College Algebra or Elementary Functions. Pre-Intermediate Algebra - This is generally a very remedial course, as the name implies. It does not transfer for college credit at any 4-year school to my knowledge. Finite Math - This name is thrown around a lot, and can mean anything from pre-pre-intermediate algebra to an applied discrete math course. We will need to see a syllabus or (at the very least) a course description on the sender school’s website. Discrete Math - This name gets thrown around a lot as well. In general, we’ll take it as our Math 212 course without much question, but if the sender school has numbered it with a 1XX or 0XX designation, we really need to look into it. Survey of Math - This is one of a thousand creative names for what we call Math for the Liberal Arts. Interpret this liberally as Math 110. Other names might include Mathematics for Citizens, Mathematics for Human Flourishing, etc.
