Transfer to SCI

Transfer students can review the Course Applicability System to see how courses from the public community colleges and universities in Arizona transfer to ASU. Just click on "Course Equivalency Guides" on the left hand side, then the college you attend (for example, "Maricopa Community Colleges"). Then choose the course heading of interest (such as PHY for physics, MAT for math and CSC for computer science) to see how the courses taken at your previous college might transfer to ASU. You must earn a “C” or higher for the course to transfer and you must have a 3.0 GPA overall to gain admission to the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering.

Students attending colleges outside of Arizona must submit catalog course descriptions from the year the course was taken, along with a copy of the cover of the catalog, to the SCI Advising Center once they gain admissions to ASU.

When an international student gains admission to ASU and ASU receives his or her official transcripts, the International Admissions office will send documentation to the SCI Advising Center. International students must submit an official English translation of their course descriptions to the SCI Advising Center for review.

The School of Computing and Informatics determines how transferable courses fulfill degree requirements for the B.S. in Computer Science and the B.S.E. in Computer Systems Engineering degrees. Transfer evaluations are completed for students who gain admissions to a degree program in the School of Computing and Informatics.

Change of Major to SCI

Students interested in changing their major to the B.S. in Computer Science and the B.S.E. in the Computer Systems Engineering must meet the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering admission requirements for transfer students. Major changes are possible but not guaranteed. Therefore, students interested in changing majors are encouraged to make an appointment with an advisor in the SCI Advising Center to discuss the probability of successfully changing his or her major and to develop a plan of action.
