Course Clearance
It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that transfer courses will satisfy BYU Marriott requirements. Previously evaluated transfer course equivalents for select colleges can be accessed here. Note: Not all schools are listed. Please contact msm_transfer@byu.edu for clarification.
For business courses that have not been evaluated, transfer students may submit a request to have a course evaluated. Email a complete course syllabus, student name and BYU ID number to msm_transfer@byu.edu. The evaluation process typically requires at least two weeks.
