The Registrar’s Office evaluates all transcripts for new transfer students to determine how the courses will fulfill the requirements for their major. 

College of Saint Mary accepts courses as transfer from all regionally accredited institutions. We also accept credits such as DANTES, CLEP, Advanced Placement, and ACE approved company-training courses.  Some programs limit acceptance of credits based on the age of the course. 

Step 1: The admissions office forwards all transcripts to the Registrar’s Office after an applicant is accepted.

Step 2: Transcripts are evaluated according to the requirements for a major and are entered into the CSM transcript. Transfer GPA is not counted in the CSM GPA calculation. 

Step 3: An academic plan is created for each student and is automatically populated by courses on the transcript.
