TES
Florida Southern College has partnered with CollegeSource to provide students with an up-to-date library of established equivalencies from institutions that we have previously received transfer credit from. To view the comprehensive list of established transfer equivalencies across the country please visit FSC’s personalized TES® site.
If you are searching for a course, or courses, in TES® that have not been evaluated, this does not mean you will not receive credit upon transfer. We have not had the opportunity to evaluate every course in the country; TES® is an ever expanding database every day. If you come across a course that has not been evaluated please request an Individual Transfer Credit Evaluation.
Request an Individual Transfer Credit Evaluation
To request an individual evaluation of your credit, please complete our Pre-Admission Transfer Credit Evaluation request form and submit all college transcripts along with the form.
