At SDSU, initial evaluation of undergraduate transfer credits is managed through the admissions office. Likewise, a student in good standing within the university can change majors and transfer into the architecture program.

• Every student who transfers into the B.F.A. in architecture degree program is evaluated using the Transfer Pre-Evaluation form.
• Individual courses are evaluated by the teaching discipline on a course-by-course basis unless there is a transfer or articulation agreement already established between institutions.
• Students may challenge for transfer credit by portfolio or petition for equivalency for architecture coursework. In this process, students submit a record that should include course syllabi, work samples, lecture documentation and note-taking and completed assignments.
• For professional level undergraduate course transfers, both the course objectives AND requisite NAAB student performance requirements have to be evident.

No advanced standing in graduate level professional ARCH courses is permitted. All 45 credit hours of required ARCH-prefix graduate courses must be completed at SDSU. The required graduate elective (3 credits), upon approval by the teaching discipline and the graduate school, may be transferred from another institution.

• Candidates admitted to the Master of Architecture degree program are reviewed through a transfer evaluation form to verify that professional program prerequisites have been met.
• Evaluation is made by the graduate program coordinator and academic advisor. Equivalency in non-architecture courses are evaluated by the department administering the course.
• Students may challenge for transfer credit by portfolio or petition for equivalency for architecture coursework.
• For professional level courses, both the academic objectives and requisite NAAB student performance requirements have to be evident in the record supplied by the student for approval of equivalency.
