Did you take concurrent enrollment in high school or are you transferring to Ensign College? Here’s what you need to know:
- Official transcripts from all colleges or universities should be sent to Ensign College.
- Once you are admitted to Ensign College, transfer credit from your transcripts will be evaluated.
- If a course didn’t transfer as expected, you can complete the Transfer Credit Request form and attach a course description for another review.
- International college credits are transferred as general elective credits (up to 30 general elective credits) at the initial evaluation. To request additional transfer credit evaluations for specific courses, please complete the Transfer Course Evaluation Form and attach a course description or syllabus translated into English.
Online Transfer Guide
The Ensign College Online Transfer Guide will help you determine how your courses will transfer to Ensign College. Some things to remember about the transfer guide:
- You can search for a specific institution or class by clicking the search button. Each of the columns can be sorted by clicking the column header.
- If the transfer guide doesn't have the class or school you're looking for, we likely haven't evaluated that course before. You are welcome to submit a transfer course evaluation request to have that course evaluated.
- This guide is an unofficial evaluation, and final articulation decisions are made after we have received your official school transcripts.
