Welcome to the Transfer Equivalency System (TES) for Saint Mary's College of California!
We’re glad you’ve found your way to our TES page. This tool is designed to help you get a sense of how courses from other institutions may transfer to SMC and apply to your degree or certificate program. Please note that TES is a helpful resource, but it does not replace the important guidance you'll receive from your academic advisor.
Important reminders for current SMC students:
Meet with your academic advisor before taking any course listed in TES. It is crucial to ensure that any transfer course aligns with your academic goals and degree requirements. Advisors will provide personalized guidance to help you stay on track.
Pay attention to public notes: Some courses may have specific requirements or restrictions. For example, when considering courses for CORE Social Science, CORE Arts/Humanities, and/or Math, a student may receive credit for at most one course in each of those areas.
Equivalencies can change: The transfer equivalencies listed in TES are subject to change at the discretion of SMC. Always verify your transfer courses with an advisor to ensure you’re up to date with the latest policies.
Thank you for using TES to explore your transfer options. We’re here to help guide you along the way as you plan your academic future. Be sure to consult your advisor to confirm any information before making decisions about transferring courses.
