Credit Transfer (Student Cohorts before 2022-23)

Credit Transfer Database

ARO maintains two databases to assist you in finding previously approved mappings for credit transfers. Before proposing any new mappings, please search these databases for relevant options to facilitate your applications:

Common core course codes

As you browse the databases, you will encounter designated codes for credit transfer mappings to the common core areas. This table summarizes the codes that you will see: 

Common Core AreaEligible Mapping Code (Example)
Arts (A)
  • ARTC UCORE 
  • Course codes with suffix ARTC (e.g., HUMA 1000ARTC)
Humanities (H)
  • HMCC UCORE
    • Course codes with suffix HMCC (e.g., HUMA 2000HMCC)
Quantitative Reasoning (QR)
  • QRCC UCORE 
  • Course codes with suffix QRCC (e.g., COMP 1000QRCC)
Science and Technology (S&T)
  • STCC CORE
  • Course codes with suffix STCC (e.g., LIFS 2000STCC)
Social Analysis (SA)
  • SACC CORE
  • Course codes with suffix SACC (e.g., ISOM 2000SACC)

When transferring credits to fulfill common core requirements, you may focus solely on the common core related codes and ignore any other codes. The other codes may indicate their mappings to courses at specific levels for different major programs.

Examples

  • HUMA 1000ARTC: It indicates mappings to both 1000-level courses in HUMA as well as the Arts common core area
  • HUMA 2000HMCC: It indicates that the course can be mapped to 2000-level courses in HUMA as well as the Humanities common core area
  • HUMA 1000 LEVEL: It indicates that the course can be mapped to 1000-level courses in HUMA, but not any common core area

You should note that these codes do not refer to specific courses such as HUMA 1000 and HUMA 2000, but rather to any 1000-level or 2000-level courses in HUMA.
