INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR TRANSFER CREDIT REPORT
The Transfer Credit Report (TCR) lists college courses and credits that USC has accepted in transfer based
on your available records. It does not include course work completed at USC; see your Student Academic
Record System (STARS) report for USC course work. Please review the information carefully for
completeness and accuracy. Note that USC reserves the right to make corrections to the data at any time.
Your TCR includes the following information:
The Pertinent Data Section shows your USC entrance year/term, your high school graduation year/term
(please contact Admissions if this is incorrect), and your current major(s) and minor(s), if any. The next
series of boxes lists important summary information:
-- Total number of semester units accepted in transfer.
-- Your transfer grade point average.
-- Units removed for exceeding various limits (if any).
-- Transfer units applicable toward the College’s Basic Requirement.
The Summary of Accepted Course Work lists all course work accepted in transfer, sorted by USC
department. If your AP, IB or international exam credit does not appear on the TCR, please make sure
official transcripts have been forwarded directly to USC by the testing agency. See the articulation website
(www.usc.edu/articulation) for more AP or IB details.

-- Year/Term: The first two digits indicate the year; the third, the term: 1=Winter or Spring; 2=Summer;
3=Fall (e.g. “142” = Summer 2014).
-- Course ID at USC: If subject equivalence to a USC course is granted (which is different than granting unit
credit), the USC course ID will be listed here. Courses without a USC equivalent may be listed with a,
“TR-“ generic course ID, or as they were originally listed on the transcript.
-- Units: Semester units granted in transfer. Quarter calendar units equate to two-thirds of semester
calendar units. Note: Courses considered subject equivalents will not necessarily have the same
unit values.
-- Title: The articulated course title, which may differ from the original.
-- Transfer Institution code: Identifies where work was attempted. See the index at the top of the TCR for
the institution’s name.
-- Transfer Course ID: The course ID as it appeared on the original transcript.
Please review your TCR for sections noting requirements, warnings, or advice.
See Department: Only students that need equivalence or advanced standing, should seek further review.

Need Syllabus: Elective credit, but not subject credit, has been granted. If a review for subject credit is
desired, an articulation petition and supporting materials must be submitted online at www.usc.edu/OASIS.
There is a one semester deadline for submitting articulation petitions. Subject credit is not guaranteed, and
may not be granted after the review.
Petition Required: These courses require an articulation petition to receive any credit. Articulation petitions
must be filed online at www.usc.edu/OASIS. Please note that filing a petition does not guarantee that credit
will be granted. Courses may receive partial credit or no credit after petition review. There is a one
semester deadline for submitting articulation petitions. Please see the OASIS website for details.
Courses taken before high school graduation: Only courses that meet the criteria described in the
message on the TCR should be petitioned for credit. Choose any one course from the list and file an
articulation petition at www.usc.edu/OASIS, requesting elective credit. All college courses taken before
high school graduation will be evaluated, and university transfer policies will be applied.
Many rules and limits apply to transfer work regarding course equivalence, repeated courses, and college
courses taken before high school graduation. Consult the Undergraduate Education section of the USC
Catalogue, and your academic advisor for details.
Any attempted courses that were not accepted in transfer will be listed next; carefully review these
Transfer Course IDs for accuracy. The final section is the Institution Detail. Please review this
chronological list of accepted transfer courses for completeness. If a course is missing or listed incorrectly,
please notify Degree Progress at: onestop@usc.edu.
If you want to request a change in the way a course has been evaluated, you must submit an online
articulation petition. The online petition and instructions are available at www.usc.edu/OASIS. There is a
one semester deadline to file an articulation petition. Please see the OASIS website for details.
