Official From Purdue's own transfer equivalency table.
Likely Our best guess from matching subject, level and title. Purdue hasn't confirmed it, so check the official table before you count on it.
Credit only You'd likely get the hours, not a specific Purdue course. Hours still count toward your total.
Not evaluated Purdue reviews these one by one, usually after you're admitted. Not listed doesn't mean it won't transfer.
Won't transfer Purdue doesn't give course credit for these.
Estimated from public catalogs, state transfer rules and other students' records. The school you transfer to makes the final decision. ClassMaxx is not affiliated with Purdue or Nichols College.

In the app, upload your transcript once and ClassMaxx shows credits toward your Purdue major, credits that become electives, what won't transfer, and what to take at Nichols College now so it counts.
