Course equivalencies
One of the primary functions of the AGSC is to work hand-in-hand with the established discipline committees (faculty groups) to approve basic general studies courses for all of the public four-year institutions of higher education and the two-year college system in Alabama. When a course appears on an approved listing it simply means that it has been vetted through the AGSC and degree credit should be awarded upon transfer if the equivalent course is required in the transfer student's chosen major/program.
The public institutions of higher education in Alabama have all agreed to honor and accept the courses approved for transfer by the AGSC. In some cases, additional courses may be required depending on major requirements or accreditation mandates.
Attention: Community College Students
All two-year transfer students are strongly encouraged to obtain an individual transfer guide in their chosen major. Do not take a random set of courses that are listed as AGSC approved. Our transfer guides are designed to provide specific information regarding transfer coursework in a given major. Some majors require a fixed course selection in AREAS I-IV that, if taken, better prepare the students for success in their junior and senior years. Make sure you get a transfer guide.
Get the GuideAttention: Four-Year University Students
We strongly encourage all four-year transfer students to print the approved course listing for their current institution and to meet with an advisor/counselor at the institution they intend to transfer to in order to verify how these approved courses will transfer into their selected program/major. Alabama Transfers does not provide 4-year to 4-year transfer guides It is the student's responsibility to make sure the courses they are taking at their current four-year institution will ultimately transfer to their designated transfer institution.
