Transfer Credit

Department Transfer Credit Policy

The Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures allows students to take and transfer courses from other accredited institutions to UM for prerequisite and major credit through the departmental approval process (see details below). Transfer courses may be applied toward your major, but at least 15 of the 30 credits need to be taken through UM courses (including courses taken on UM administered study abroad). Minors must take 10 of the required 18 credits through UM courses (including courses taken on UM administered study abroad). Approval for credit of courses transferred from an institution not affiliated with UM must go through the German Department’s Transfer Credit Evaluation Process. Please contact the German advisors (germanadvising@umich.edu) to initiate the process and be prepared to provide a course description, syllabus, and representative assignments.
