New transfer students must provide all transcripts from previous institutions and AP/IB/CLEP scores to the Registrar’s Office (the sooner, the better!). From there, your credit will be evaluated and entered into MyDegreeWorks. You’ll be able to see which classes and exams have counted for which degree requirements. Please see the ‘Incoming Student Enrollment’ tab above or reach out to the Registrar’s Office for more information. Additionally, the CUI Transfer Students page has detailed information about application steps and important deadlines.

• CUI has transfer articulation agreements with several California Community Colleges specifying how coursework taken at California Community Colleges will satisfy Concordia University Irvine major requirements. Articulation agreements are designed to be used in tandem with the CUI Academic Catalog. Please utilize the Articulation Agreements for courses that have been pre-approved for transfer to CUI.
• If you would like to take a class that is not on the Articulation Agreements, you must have the class approved beforehand. Please complete a Course Substitution Request, accessible through MyCUI, have it signed by the respective department chair, and return the form to the Registrar’s Office for processing. For department chair contact information, see the ‘Approval List’ next to the ‘Substitution Request’ in MyCUI. For example, if you are hoping to take an Art History class off-campus as a substitute for CUI’s ART 311, send your Substitution Request to the Art Department Chair. See the Traditional Undergraduate Transfer Credits page for more information on policies for transferring courses.
