Find a replacement course
With Transferology, you can also search for courses that other schools offer that will replace a course you need at your institution. To begin, you should select “find a replacement course.” Next, add the school you currently attend and the courses you want to replace at a different school. Then, you will have to select what type of requirement this course will be fulfilling, such as a Gen Ed.
