Transfer Evaluation TES: Transfer Evaluation System  After credits have been articulated, students can request a “re- evaluation” of specific courses  This request is initiated with an Academic Advising Counselor and accomplished through TES, a web-based system

Transfer Evaluation Process (in TES):  Counselor selects the course in question from the outside institution  Counselor identifies UNLV course that it is believed to equate to  Counselor submits these courses to appropriate department/individual for review  The request is approved/denied or requires more information.

Transfer Evaluation APPROVALS:  “This student only”: The student for which the request was initiated will be updated to reflect the new approved equivalent.  “For ALL Students”: A RULE will be built for this course so that any future students who may transfer it in will receive the same approved equivalent.

Transfer Evaluation Denials:  A RULE will be built to ensure that the course is brought in as a general elective for its subject area (ex: ENGLD/ENGUD)  Each rule built based upon a denial will include a note indicating the scenario that was denied, by whom, and a date.

Transfer Evaluation Requires Further Information:  In some instances, students need to obtain more information on a course for a decision to be made  More detailed course description, course syllabus, etc  Dependent on what is received, and approval or denial will be assigned
