HOW CREDITS TRANSFER

The Transfer Evaluation System (TES) is intended as a guide for our prospective transfer students. Students can see how credits from previous institutions will transfer to Eastern New Mexico University. Schools and courses are added to the list on a regular basis, particularly from those schools which have provided a large number of transfer students to ENMU in the past.

Submission of official transcripts of all completed coursework is necessary before a final determination can be made about transfer credit. If a class is listed from a current or former institution, it is not necessarily a guarantee the school is currently offering the course or plans to offer the course in the future. The TES list can be viewed at enmu.edu/TES.
