University at Buffalo (UB)
Use this report to understand how college credits from other institutions and alternative/exam credits transfer to UB.
The report provides information about a transfer student’s incoming courses, units and grades. It is often used in conjunction with the HUB Academic Advising Report.
The report provides the evaluated UB course articulation, so students can see which external credit-bearing courses have been approved for course equivalency at UB. The report also reflects UB’s repeat and grading policies.
HUB Transfer Credit Reports are available for all matriculated undergraduate students via MyUB.
Students should examine their reports carefully and speak to an advisor if there are questions or discrepancies in the report.
The report contains the following sections:
The Course Credits section displays evaluated courses from transfer institutions. If a student has transfer credits coming in from more than one institution, they will see a model number table for each institution.
Each transfer model will contain information about:
The Transfer Term column displays the term the transfer credit was posted. The column displays:
Every transfer credit will have an evaluated UB Equivalent Course assigned to it. This may appear as a specific course (e.g. MTH 115) or as a generic placeholder credit (e.g. TR999TR).
The Units and Grade fields display what UB has accepted based on grading and articulation policy. For transfer credit, a “T” or “M” will precede the actual grade and is used to identify it as transfer credit.
Students should notify their academic advisor if their status is listed as either “Completed” or “Submitted” to ensure the credit is properly posted to their record.
The Test Credit column displays credit given for exam credit, such as AP, CLEP, A-levels, etc. If a student has test credits from more than one source/type, they will see a model number table for each.
The Test Credits report displays the transfer term and test ID, which indicates the source of the test credit.
The Other Credit section displays certain military and experiential learning credit.
HUB Academic Advisement Reports and Transfer Credit Reports are not official or unofficial transcripts. Students needing a transcript should visit the transcripts section of this website for more information.
The TAURUS Course Equivalency Guide (CEG) is a tool students and staff can use to look up current course articulations between UB and other institutions, by school or course.
