Accounting - Transfer Students
Students who anticipate transferring to Clemson may estimate the credit hours they will receive for their transferred work by referencing the degree curriculum (see link below) and the Transfer Course Equivalency List (see link below). Courses which have been transferred to Clemson that have been awarded Clemson credit appear on the Transfer Course Equivalency List. To use the list, click on the alphabetic letter corresponding to the first letter in the college or university's name. For example, if you are looking for Wofford College, click on "W". An alphabetic list of college and universities whose names begin with "W" will appear. Scroll down until you find the school from which you wish to transfer courses. Click on that school. An alphabetic list of course rubrics and numbers will appear followed by the current Clemson equivalent. Courses remain on the list for five years. After five years they must be reevaluated for equivalency.The Transfer Course Equivalency List includes only the courses that have been transferred to Clemson in the last five years. Other courses may be transferable. Course equivalents are evaluated during Transfer Student Orientation which takes place twice during the summer and once at the beginning of both the fall and spring semesters. It is the responsibility of each teaching department to evaluate course equivalency against the courses they teach. For example, the Director of the School of Accountancy evaluates accounting and business law course equivalencies; the Chair of Financial Management evaluates finance course equivalencies, etc.
Clemson does not grant transfer equivalency credit for upper division level (junior/senior - 300/400) course work taken at institutions who offer only associate degrees. "Upper division" is evaluated in terms of the Clemson numbering system. For example, Intermediate Financial Accounting I at Clemson is numbered ACCT 311. Therefore, Intermediate Accounting I taken at a technical or junior college is not transferable to Clemson.
Generally, you will enroll under the curriculum in effect at the time you enter Clemson. Each fall, the curriculum for the current academic year is published by the university in the Undergraduate Announcements. Students who have been continuously enrolled (each fall and spring semester since they entered the school from which they are transferring -- no breaks) may elect to use the curriculum that was in effect at the time they entered that school.
