About Course Numbers:transfer_credit24-050 Study Abroad Fall Mechanical Engineering students studying abroad through other institutions are registered for this zero-unit place holder "course." Prior to being enrolled for study abroad, the student must have completed an Office of International Education "Study Abroad Transfer Credit (SATC) Form," which must be signed by their academic advisor in Mechanical Engineering. Student performance in this course is evaluated based on individual homework assignments on the various topics presented in class and on a team design project. Various types of analyses are considered, which may include, for example, static, pseudo-static, dynamic, modal, buckling, contact, heat transfer, thermal stress and thermal shock.2026-2027coursecatalog.web.cmu.edu
Administrative Procedures on Transfer Credittransfer_creditAdministrative Procedures on Transfer Credit To be considered for transfer credit, an approved course must be taken for an assessed grade and completed with a grade of C- or better (or equivalent of a U.S. C- grade). Ungraded or pass/fail courses may receive credit if the transcript key indicates that the mark represents a grade of C- or better. CMU does not discriminate against particular institutional settings or modes of delivery and strives for fairness and transparency as outlined in the Middle States Commission on Higher Education standards. The coursework must be issued on an official transcript from a regionally accredited US college or university, or from an international institution of post-secondary education that carries globally recognized accreditation from the relevant Ministry of Education (or equivalent higher-education authority/appropriate government agency) and that offers university-level academic degree program courses comparable to a U.S. associate’s or bachelor’s degree. Transcripts from institutions outside the United States should be evaluated course-by-course by a NACES-approved credential evaluator and sent to CMU as part of the undergraduate admissions process. Courses eligible for evaluation will be considered case-by-case to confirm equivalencies based on course content and academic rigor. Courses must include the same, or similar, content to CMU undergraduate courses; require the same, or similar, prerequisite coursework; and be offered at the same level of instruction. The student’s home major or minor department will determine how approved credit will apply to a student’s major or minor. Approved courses not given a direct equivalency may serve as general electives, units towards the degree, and breadth units where appropriate. A candidate for a bachelor's degree must complete at least 180 units of coursework at CMU. CMU will not accept any math courses below Calculus 1. English-language courses, career preparation and first-year seminars, and Algebra-based physics are also not permitted to be transferred to CMU.2026-2027coursecatalog.web.cmu.edu
Criteria for Transfertransfer_creditIn assessing the suitability of courses for transfer credit, the Department of Physics will consider the following factors: The academic rigor of the course must be comparable to that offered at Carnegie Mellon University. The Department of Physics does not accept online or distance education courses for transfer credit, regardless of the status of exam proctoring. For example, a class that has no math prerequisite will not transfer as a Carnegie Mellon University class for which there is such a prerequisite, and algebra-based Physics I or Physics II classes will not be accepted for transfer as our calculus-based courses. Classes that meet this criterion may still be denied transfer credit if key topics are found to be excluded or are not covered in sufficient depth to satisfy the Department's requirements regarding rigor.2026-2027coursecatalog.web.cmu.edu
Definitionstransfer_creditCourses offered for cross-registration are those taken under the PCHE (Pittsburgh Council on Higher Education) agreement during the regular academic year.” Only official and final college or university transcripts will be accepted for the awarding of transfer credit. Official transcripts for the awarding of transfer credit will reside in the student's permanent university academic folder in the University Registrar's Office.2026-2027coursecatalog.web.cmu.edu

Transfer Credittransfer_creditTransfer Credit Undergraduate students who wish to transfer in credit for courses taken at another institution should familiarize themselves with both the university policies and their home college’s transfer credit policies. Statistics and Data Science students can find the Dietrich college policies here . We encourage students considering taking courses outside of CMU to contact their academic advisor to ensure proper planning and guidance. Students must complete this form to request a course to transfer in as any undergraduate course in the Department of Statistics and Data Science (36-000 - 36-599). Statistics and Data Science students who wish to transfer coursework from another institution for core Statistics and Data Science credit must adhere to the following guidelines: At most four (4) core courses may be transferred in and used to fulfill degree requirements. This applies to primary and additional major students. For the minor, this is reduced to two (2) courses. Advanced placement or equivalent and courses taken prior to matriculation to Carnegie Mellon University do not factor into the 4 course maximum.

Transfer Credittransfer_creditTransfer Credit Once a BXA student enrolls at Carnegie Mellon University as a degree candidate, they may transfer a maximum of five courses from another institution (excepting official study abroad programs through the CMU Office of International Education) for credit towards their BXA degree. This applies to courses taken at other institutions in the United States, as well as courses taken internationally in the student’s home country. Individual departments may impose stricter limits regarding the number or type of courses students propose to take elsewhere to fulfill requirements. Some departments may not accept transfer credit from online courses. Students must have prior approval to transfer courses from their BXA advisor, as well as concentration advisors, to use coursework towards requirements. To receive permission, students must provide course information (syllabi) to the corresponding department for evaluation of appropriate credit. When the course is finished, official transcripts must be sent to Carnegie Mellon University before credit will be recorded. Transfer courses must be taken for a letter grade and students must earn a C (2.00) or above (B or above at a community college). Transfer credit is not factored into a student's CMU QPA. The following courses must be taken at CMU and cannot be transferred in: First-Year Writing Requirement Course ( 76-101 Interpretation and Argument , 76-102 Advanced First Year Writing: Special Topics , 76-106 Writing about Literature, Art and Culture , 76-107 Writing about Data , 76-108 Writing about Public Problems ) Humanities ( 79-104 Global Histories 79-145 Genocide and Weapons of Mass Destruction , 79-189 Democracy and History: Thinking Beyond the Self ) 36-200 Reasoning with Data (AP credit only) 99-101 Core@CMU Students currently on university suspension are permitted to take no more than three courses per semester at another institution and no more than a total of five courses.

Transfer Credit Evaluated on Individual Basistransfer_creditTransfer Credit Evaluated on Individual Basis The college/school to which you’re admitted will determine transfer credit for courses you’ve taken at other universities. We only offer transfer credit evaluations to admitted students. Transfer credit is considered on an individual basis. We may award elective credit for courses with no Carnegie Mellon equivalent. Transfer credit for courses you’re taking while we’re reviewing your existing college record depends upon successful completion of each course. Grades aren’t transferred — only credits. Sometimes transfer students have to take speci fi c courses and accumulate a larger total number of credits than the normal amount required for graduation. The time it takes for you to graduate will depend on the time you need to complete the full university degree requirements — not on your class standing at a previous institution. If you transfer in the fall semester, you’ll be given instructions on how to receive an estimate of the additional academic work you must complete in order to fulfill the university degree requirements. If you transfer in the spring semester, you’ll have the opportunity to meet with an associate dean or advisor in order to outline the additional academic work you must complete to meet the university degree requirements. It’s best for transfer students in CFA to assume they’ll receive first-year status. Occasionally advanced standing is awarded based on review of previous college courses. You must make arrangements to have a final copy of your college transcript(s) forwarded to Carnegie Mellon’s Office of Admission by July 1.2026-2027coursecatalog.web.cmu.edu
Transfer Credit Evaluation and Assignment Policytransfer_creditTransfer Credit Evaluation and Assignment Policy https://www.cmu.edu/policies/student-and-student-life/transfer-credit-evaluation-and-assignment.html The Policy on Grades for Transfer Courses, originally dated January 13, 1993, and approved by the Committee on Educational Programs and Student and Faculty Affairs states: Carnegie Mellon University offers students the opportunity to take courses for credit through a cross-registration program and through the receipt of transfer credit from other accredited institutions. The Carnegie Mellon University transcript will include information on such courses as follows: Carnegie Mellon courses and courses taken through the university's cross-registration program will have grades recorded on the transcript and be factored into the QPA. All other courses will be recorded on this transcript indicating where the course was taken, but without grade. Such courses will not be taken into account for academic actions, honors or QPA calculations. Note: Suspended students may take courses elsewhere; however, they may receive transfer credit only if their college's and department's policies allow this.2026-2027coursecatalog.web.cmu.edu
Transfer Credit for Biological Sciences Coursestransfer_creditTransfer Credit for Biological Sciences Courses Requests for transfer credit for biology classes taken at other institutions should be made to the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Dr. Amanda Willard . Students making such requests should follow the policies and procedures in place within their home colleges in assembling materials for such requests. Consult with your advisor on the appropriate steps. Requests should be placed before paying tuition for a class in case transfer credit is denied. Allow 1-2 weeks for approval. At minimum requests must be accompanied by a complete syllabus including the textbook that will be used, a detailed list of topic areas and an indication of whether or not the course is part of the curriculum for science majors at the other institution. Check to ensure that the institution is on a semester system. Most schools on a quarter system (many in the UC system of schools) teach general biology over three quarters; therefore one of these classes would not be equivalent to one CMU class. In assessing the suitability of courses for transfer credit, the following factors are considered: The rigor of the course must be comparable to that offered at Carnegie Mellon. This is usually assessed via the quality of the institution and its biology program, the textbook used, the amount of time spent on topic areas, and the course assessment structure. The topic areas should match to a degree of at least 80% those covered in the comparable course at Carnegie Mellon University. No transfer credit will be awarded for the laboratory classes required for the biological sciences majors at Carnegie Mellon University, 03-124 , 03-343 , 03-344 , 03-345 and 03-346 . Core biological sciences courses required for the BS degrees and the additional major that are numbered 03-2xx or higher must be taken at Carnegie Mellon University. Exceptions must be requested of and approved by the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Dr. Amanda Willard . In general such requests will be approved only under unusual or extenuating circumstances. Transfer credit for biological elective coursework will be assessed on a case by case basis by the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Dr. Amanda Willard . Students wishing to transfer credit for 03-121 Modern Biology from another institution must meet the following requirements: The course in question should have at least an 80% match in topics with 03-121 . Topics in 03-121 cover the genetic, molecular, cellular, developmental, and evolutionary mechanisms that underlie biological processes and include: Cell theory; Cell chemistry; Cell structure; Function and structure of proteins, DNA, RNA, lipids and carbohydrates; Cell respiration and fermentation; The cell cycle; Cell-cell interactions and communication; Transcription; Translation; RNA processing in Eukaryotes; DNA replication; DNA mutation and repair; Meiosis; Mitosis; and Regulation of Gene Expression. This information is sometimes available in the course description, but more detail is often found in a course syllabus. The textbook used in the transfer course should be at a comparable level to S. Freeman et al (2016) "Biological Science" Sixth Edition, Pearson, ISBN 9780134255033 (eText). Introductory level courses that focus on other biology areas (i.e. anatomy, physiology, ecology, evolution, and/or development) will not be accepted for 03-121 credit. These courses may receive credit for a general biology elective.2026-2027coursecatalog.web.cmu.edu
Transfer Credit for Chemistry Coursestransfer_creditTransfer Credit for Chemistry Courses Requests for transfer credit for chemistry classes taken at other institutions should be made to Dr. Len Vuocolo, Associate Teaching Professor in the Department of Chemistry. Students making such requests should follow the policies and procedures in place within their home colleges in assembling materials for such requests. Consult with your advisor on the appropriate steps. Requests should be placed before paying tuition for a class in case transfer credit is denied. Allow 1-2 weeks for approval. At minimum, transfer credit requests must include: A complete syllabus , including the textbook used A detailed list of topic areas , ideally with a schedule showing how much time is spent on each topic. A statement indicating whether the course is part of the science major curriculum at the other institution Be sure to check that the institution uses a semester system . Many schools on a quarter system (such as those in the University of California system) spread general and organic chemistry over three quarters . In most cases, one quarter-long course is not equivalent to one CMU course. The department no longer accepts fully online courses. No transfer credit will be awarded for the laboratory classes required for the chemistry or biology major at Carnegie Mellon University, 09-207 , 09-221 , 09-208 , 09-222 , 09-321 , 09-323 and 09-322 . Requests for transfer credit for 09-101 , Introduction to Experimental Chemistry, will be accepted with the appropriate documentation. In assessing the suitability of courses for transfer credit, the following factors are considered: The rigor of the course must be comparable to that offered at Carnegie Mellon. This is usually assessed via the quality of the institution and its chemistry program, the textbook used and the amount of time spent on topic areas. In general, the rate of approval is significantly higher for four-year institutions with science majors as opposed to community colleges. The topic areas should match to a degree of at least 80% those covered in the comparable course at Carnegie Mellon University. 09-105 Introduction to Modern Chemistry I focuses primarily on structure, bonding, interactions (and their influence on properties), and reactions (including quantitative relationships among substances in them). Detailed topics include the following: Radiation and Its Interaction with Matter Quantum Mechanics (wave-particle duality of matter, Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle) Atomic Structure (Schrodinger Model, quantum numbers, interpretation of orbitals and their relative energies) Interpretation of Periodic Table, including the writing of electron configurations, Aufbau Principle, and Hund’s Rule Periodic Table Trends in Elemental Properties Photoelectron Spectroscopy Bonding models and their explanation of properties (types of solids, bond polarity, bond energies, and bond lengths) Lewis Structures (octet rule and exceptions; formal charge) Resonance Structures Molecular shapes (including deviations from ideal bond angles) Molecular Polarity (greenhouse gases as application) Interparticle (intermolecular) forces and comparing or predicting relative physical properties from them (chromatography as application) Valence Bond (Localized Electron) and Molecular Orbital Theory Pi Molecular Orbitals (and energy diagrams) of Conjugated Organic Molecules Band Theory of Metals, Semiconductors, and Insulators Determining number of moles and chemical formulas Writing and balancing chemical equations (in particular completing combustion and double displacement reactions – including acid-base and precipitation reactions) Stoichiometry and thermochemical equations (heat evolved in combustion of fuels as application) Stoichiometry – limiting reactant and percentage yield Gases (mainly ideal) and stoichiometric applications involving them Phase transitions Solutions (determining concentrations, dilution problems, stoichiometric applications, application of solubility rules to determine if a precipitate forms) Acid-base reactions, titrations and other stoichiometric applications of acid-base reactions Oxidation Numbers, Redox Reactions/Titrations, and other stoichiometric applications of redox reactions​ ​​ 09-106 Modern Chemistry II focuses primarily on thermodynamics, kinetics and equilibrium.

Thermochemistry and Thermodynamics (First, Second, and Third Laws, with gas expansion/compression applications, including reversible, adiabatic processes) Internal energy, enthalpy, entropy, Gibbs Free energy, and determination of spontaneity Kinetics : Determination of rate, order, rate laws (including application of pseudo-rate laws, application of integrated rate law to determine order, relationship between time and amount in a reaction, and half-life Reaction mechanisms – applying fast equilibrium and steady-state approximations to determine rate law consistent with mechanism Chemical Equilibrium : determination of Q and K expressions, determination of direction in which reaction proceeds to achieve equilibrium (using Q and Le Chatelier’s principles, quantitative calculations to determine K or amounts at various stages, dependence of K on temperature, relationship between Gibbs Free energy, Q, and K) Acid-Base Equilibria: writing dissociation equilibrium reactions and acid-base “neutralization” reactions, autoionization of water (determination of pH and pOH, use of K w ), writing K a and K b expressions from dissociation equilibria, quantitative equilibrium calculations for weak acids and bases, titrations between strong species, strong-weak species, and weak-weak species, buffers (calculations of pH and amounts, including how to make a buffer), polyprotic species (quantitative applications and titrations), solubility and precipitation equilibria, determination of K sp expressions and quantitative applications of those expressions, complex ion formation equilibria, emphasis is placed on equilibrium problems that involve multiple types of simultaneous equilibria Electrochemistry: Electrochemical cell notation and writing half-reactions from it, Faraday constant to connect number of moles of electrons / reaction amounts with current, connection of Gibbs Free Energy to cell voltage (potential) at equilibrium and non-equilibrium conditions, determination of K ’s (acid-base, solubility constants) or amounts using Nernst equation in concentration cells ( K for cell reaction) ​ ​ ​9. 09-111 Chemical Building Blocks takes an applications or systems approach to exploring current significant research and technology, as well as to explaining phenomena and problems in the world around us. The major contexts and phenomena that it explore in applying and connecting chemical concepts are: (1) sustainable energy, (2) charge motion in materials, (3) natural versus engineered catalysts, (4) polymeric materials, and (5) reversible reactions in environmental and biological chemistry. The chemical concepts used to promote an integrated understanding of the above applications and systems are: Radiation and Its Interaction with Matter Atomic Structure (Schrodinger Model, quantum numbers, interpretation of orbitals and their relative energies) Interpretation of Periodic Table, including the writing of electron configurations, Aufbau Principle, and Hund’s Rule Periodic Table Trends in Elemental Properties Photoelectron Spectroscopy Bonding models and their explanation of properties (types of solids, bond polarity, bond energies, and bond lengths) molecular structures of organic and inorganic compounds Resonance Structures Molecular shapes Molecular Polarity Interparticle (intermolecular) forces and comparing or predicting relative physical properties from them Multiphase Reaction Stoichiometry (including limiting reactants and percent yield) Thermodynamics (First, Second, and Third Laws – applications more toward chemical reactions) Acid-Base Chemistry Kinetics (phenomenological and mechanistic) Electrochemistry (redox reactions; battery technology) Equilibrium 10 . 09-101 Introduction to Experimental Chemistry is a seven week (mini) laboratory course that is designed to introduce students to some basic laboratory skills, techniques, and equipment commonly used in experimental chemical investigations. The experiments will apply concepts in organic and inorganic synthesis, quantitative analysis using visible spectrophotometry, kinetics, acid-base chemistry, thermochemistry, and transition metal coordination chemistry. The chemical concepts applied or discovered in the course are: molecular polarity and interparticle (intermolecular) forces synthesis of substances (empirical formulas, stoichiometry, and percent yield), spectrophotometric analysis (dilution and Beer-Lambert Law) kinetics (integrated rate laws and Arrhenius equation) equilibrium (Law of Mass Action, LeChâtelier’s Principle) acid-base equilibria redox reactions thermochemistry (enthalpy, thermochemical equations) coordination chemistry The Laboratory Skills/Techniques involved are: safe lab practices, waste disposal, and chemical hygiene data/observation recording in lab notebook graphing, analyzing, and interpreting experimental data use of top-loading balance chromatography (paper or silica plate) filtration (gravity and vacuum) recrystallization of solids titrations (redox and acid-base; use of pH meter) making of and dilution of solutions (including quantitative transfer of solute) use of volumetric pipet use of spectrophotometer developing experimental procedures 11. 09-217 Organic Chemistry I is a 9-unit course that is the first half of our two semester sequence in organic chemistry for non-majors. The concepts addressed in the class are listed below. Please take special note of the spectroscopy section. Many institutions do not introduce this topic in the first organic chemistry class. These concepts are especially important if you wish to take the second class, 09-218 Organic Chemistry II , and the organic laboratory class for non-majors, 09-208 Techniques for Organic Synthesis and Analysis . It is possible that you will be offered chemistry elective credit instead of transfer credit for 09-217 Organic Chemistry I if these topics are not addressed sufficiently in the class you submit for approval. The chemistry elective course might, with permission of your advisor, satisfy the organic chemistry requirement for your major, minor or additional major but not satisfy the prerequisite requirement for 09-218 Organic Chemistry II or 09-208 Techniques for Organic Synthesis and Analysis . Topics: · Language of Organic Chemistry: o New concepts, chemical terms, and nomenclature. o Chemical formulas and structural drawing. o Use of arrows to represent electron flow to describe reaction mechanisms and chemical synthesis. · Molecular Structure: Electronic structure and 3-dimensional structure of molecules: geometry. Arrangement of atoms in space: stereochemistry.
