Georgia Tech will award elective credit for courses taken at another institution that match the academic rigor of courses at Georgia Tech but do not match the content of courses offered at Georgia Tech. These courses will be awarded elective credit.

Common elective courses awarded are HUM 1XXX/2XXX, SS 1XXX/2XXX, and FREE 1XXX. Department specific elective credit may also be awarded such as PHYS 2XXX, BIOS 1XXX, etc.

These courses are considered elective credit and do not directly replace a Georgia Tech course. For example, PHYS 2XXX is not equal to any 2000-level physics course.

Students will need to work with their academic advisors to determine how the elective credit can be used to meet degree requirements.

Georgia Tech also awards Transfer Math Credit. Transfer Math is awarded when the content of the transfer course aligns with Georgia Tech’s course but is not equivalent in credit hours (ex. Multivariable Calculus course completed was 3 credit hours but Georgia Tech’s course is 4 credit hours). If a student earns credit for a Transfer Math Course, they will need to work with their academic advisor to ensure they are meeting all math hour requirements for their degree.
