Transfer Equivalency System (TES) 

Our Transfer Equivalency System (TES) helps you see how your credits, certifications, or professional training might transfer to UNH CPS Online. Credit for prior learning may include:

  • College coursework
  • Professional licenses and certificates
  • Military and workplace training
  • College-level exams (CLEP, DSST, AP, StraighterLine, Sophia Learning, and more)

TES is a planning tool to guide your next steps; an official course evaluation happens once you apply to a degree program. 

If you don’t see your experience listed but believe it may still be eligible for transfer credit to UNH-CPSO, complete an inquiry and one of our advisors will be in touch shortly
