Typically, one week after transfer students are accepted, and one week after freshman students submit their enrollment deposit, George Mason鈥檚 Office of Admissions will evaluate the student鈥檚 transfer credits. Evaluations may take longer in January and from late May to early August.
Admission to George Mason is contingent upon receipt of all official, final transcripts. Failure to submit official, final transcripts will result in a registration hold applied to your account, which will prohibit you from registering for classes in the second semester.
Undergraduate transfer credit is accepted until the time of graduation from George Mason. Submitting your credits earlier will ensure accurate degree progression and help prevent registration or graduation delays due to missing prerequisites or insufficient credit hours.
Submitting Transcripts
Official transcripts from prior institutions must be transmitted directly from the Registrar of the student鈥檚 previous institution(s), and credit-by-exam scores must be sent directly from the appropriate testing agency. Electronic documents may be emailed to ugtrans@gmu.edu, while paper documents should be mailed to the following address:

Office of Admissions
4400 University Drive, MSN 3A4
Fairfax VA 22030

Updating Transferred Courses
If you have reached the maximum transfer credit hours and wish to have different courses transferred into your student record, please email your request to the Admissions Transfer Credit Team at credeval@gmu.edu.
Undisclosed courses taken after admission, except for summer courses from previously attended institutions, will result in a re-evaluation of your admission status. Notify the Admissions Office at admissions@gmu.edu if you plan to take courses after admissions. All final transcripts must be submitted prior to registering for your second semester at George Mason. Failure to do so will result in a hold on your account, preventing you from registering for future classes.
Re-admitted students receive an updated transfer credit evaluation based on the transfer credit policy of the new catalog year.聽
