Transfer Evaluation

Page address: http://www.mnsu.edu/registrar/transfer.html

Transfer evaluation is the process of converting coursework from other institutions to Minnesota State University, Mankato credits and courses.

Evaluation for undergraduate students is done in the Office of the Registrar, while transfer work for graduate students is handled by the College of Graduate Studies & Research--see their site for details on transfer and admission procedures.

However, prior to having an actual evaluation done, students must be admitted to Minnesota State University, Mankato.

The admission process for undergraduate students is handled by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
Transfer students applying for admission need to have their transcripts from other institutions reviewed by the Admissions Office. Transcripts from schools within the MnSCU system are automatically sent online to the Admissions Office. However, transcripts from non-MnSCU schools must be sent via U.S. mail to:

Minnesota State University, Mankato
Office of Undergraduate Admissions
122 Taylor Center
Mankato, MN 56001

Detailed information on the undergraduate admissions process can be found at the Undergraduate Admissions Office site

Questions concerning undergraduate admission to Minnesota State University, Mankato should be directed to the Undergraduate Admissions Office

Once a student has been admitted to Minnesota State University, Mankato, their transcripts are forwarded to the Office of the Registrar to be evaluated.

Undergraduate students that have been previously admitted should have their non-MnSCU transcripts sent directly to the Registrar's Office Transfer Evaluations Department:

eTranscripts

For MSU students who have attended other schools within the MNSCU system, Minnesota State University, Mankato is able to retrieve a copy of transcripts electronically--these are called eTranscripts.

Students applying for admission to the University automatically have eTranscripts sent to our Undergraduate Admissions Office from any MnSCU schools they have attended.

Students who have already been admitted to MSU and have additional MNSCU transferwork to be evaluated, are asked to request that additional eTranscripts be retrieved by sending an email to transfer-evaluation@mnsu.edu . The email should include the student's name, tech ID, and MNSCU school for which the transcript is needed. Students should make certain that they have cleared any holds on their account at the schools from which they are requesting transcripts.

Questions about this process or the status of an evaluation should contact the Transfer Department of the Office of the Registrar using the previously mentioned email address or by calling (507) 389-5265.

Evaluations are composed and sent via U.S. mail to admitted transfer students whenever transcripts from other institutions are received. These documents show the number of credits accepted in transfer and how the classes were used in general education. Students should allow up to two weeks for the evaluation process to be completed.
