Help transferring to UTC
If you have completed or are planning to complete college-level courses at another school, our Transfer Evaluation Self-Service (TESS) will show you how those classes will transfer to UTC and apply toward your selected degree program.
Note: This is a desktop application and is not accurately viewable on a mobile device.
If your institution or a course is not available in TESS, please email us for assistance. After reading the instructions based on your student type below:
What you'll receive
You will receive a degree evaluation showing how courses apply to the selected major. A summary of courses that may transfer to UTC will display at the bottom of the page. You can create an account that allows you to revisit the evaluation online or just download an evaluation PDF.
Current or returning UTC student
Please be aware that the TESS evaluation does not connect with your UTC record. It will only show how courses may apply to your degree program. You will need to compare the results of this evaluation with your official MyMocsDegree. If you are just looking for transfer equivalency information, you may find it easier to check the transfer equivalency charts.
Courses can be evaluated with or without creating an account. This will be an account separate from your MyMocsNet account.
Creating an account allows you to save your work and refer back to the evaluation at a later time. If you choose not to create an account you will still have the option of printing the evaluation at the bottom of the evaluation results.
Once you are on the TESS homepage, complete all the initial information and then:
Select a School
Enter the school name in the search box and click on the link when the school appears.
Select a Class
- In the search box, type in the course exactly as it appears on the transcript.
- If more than one course appears, scroll down until you find the one with the correct course title.
- Fill in all the remaining information about the course.
- If additional courses are listed on the transcript, check "Add another class from this school" and proceed.
- Once all courses are entered, uncheck this box and proceed. Then click the “I’m all done/Get Credits” button.
