Course Equivalency Procedure
-
Get official transcripts from transfer university.
-
If transcripts are not in English, transcripts need to be translated into english by Joseph Silny and Associates.
-
Submit translated transcripts to FIU Registrar office.
-
Keep checking your unofficial transcripts on PantherSoft until you can see your transfer credits posted.
-
After transfer credits are posted, get translated course descriptions or course syllabi for the courses you wish to get equivalencies for. (Translation made by Joseph Silny and Associates).
-
Take the translated course descriptions along with a course equivalency form (obtained from advisor) to the corresponding evaluating FIU department. For example, if you are trying to evaluate MTH 101 Mathematics I from a foreign university to substitute for MAC 2311 Calculus I at FIU, you need to take a translated course description or syllabus for MTH 101 to the Math Department accompanied with the course equivalency form.
-
The evaluating FIU department has to examine the course description and approve the equivalency by signing the equivalency form.
-
The signed equivalency form must then be returned to the Biomedical Engineering Advisor who will then update the student records.
