Transferring Credit to the MSAE Program
As a masters student, you are able to transfer up to 6 credit-hours of coursework completed at a another accredited institution. The courses you wish to transfer could not have been counted towards any previous degree. In order to initiate the process, you must communicate the following information to the AE graduate program manager:
Transcript and Certified Letter
Please submit a transcript from your previous institution that shows that the course(s) did not count towards a previous degree. The transcript can come in the form of an unofficial transcript. Typically, the Registrar’s Office receives the transcript through the admission process. The Registrar’s office MUST also have the official transcript on file in order to fully process your request. If the Registrar's Office can not provide your official transcript to us, then you must work with your institution to have it sent to us. The Registrar's Office has guidance on completing this process.
You must also provide a certified letter from the registrar at the school where the classes were taken which certifies that the classes were not used toward a degree at that school, and a course outline for each course to be transferred.
Syllabus
You must submit a syllabus of each course from the previous institution for assessment purposes.
Georgia Tech Equivalent
Find the Georgia Tech course equivalent to the course you wish to transfer. Submit the GTAE course syllabus and the syllabus from the previous institution to the AE Graduate Program Manager.
The AE Program Manager may ask you to contact the GT instructor to obtain the instructor's approval. You will forward the instructor's email of approval to the AE graduate program manager. If you do not find a Georgia Tech equivalent, please reach out to the AE graduate program manager for further assistance.

Transferring Credit to the Aerospace Engineering Ph.D. Program
As a Ph.D student, you are eligible to transfer up to 30 credit-hours of coursework from a previous, accredited institution. Coursework that counted towards a previous degree is eligible for transfer. Please make an appointment with the AE graduate program manager to discuss the transfer process and get the necessary forms. You will also need to provide a copy of your transcript.
Once the process is complete, the courses will not show up in your DegreeWorks account. Instead, the transfer form will be held on file until you have completed all course requirements. Upon completing all course requirements, a note will be made in your account stating that you have completed course requirements. Any further questions should be directed to ae-graduate-info@aerospace.gatech.edu.
