Transfer Credits in Religion Transfer Credit Evaluation for Courses you have taken at other Colleges or Universities: Students seeking transfer credit should first check with the Admissions Office to see if their course has already been evaluated for Transfer equivalency at UGA. If you do not find your course or if your course has transferred in as a generic RELI course, then we will need to evaluate the course in order for it to fulfill core requirements. Please email Dr. Jodie Lyon (lyon@uga.edu), who will give you further instructions for completing this process. Transfer Credit Evaluation for Courses you plan to take from other Colleges or Universities during a semester abroad or at another institution: Students participating in a study away experience should go through the Office of Global Engagement (OGE). Transient students should see if the course they plan to take at another institution has already been evaluated for Transfer equivalency at UGA. If it has not, you should contact Dr. Jodie Lyon (lyon@uga.edu) and request that she review the syllabus of the course that you would like to take.
