A note of caution

Samuel Merritt University receives applications from students from many more schools than you will see represented in this tool. We can’t possibly evaluate every course at every school. If there is a course that is not included in our tool that you would like us to evaluate, we’d be happy to take a look. Send us a course description to admission@samuelmerritt.edu along with the school it’s from and the program requirement for which you would like it to be reviewed.

Similarly, if a course number or department changes (which is more common than you might think) or you see a course that doesn’t seem right, let us know by sending an email to admission@samuelmerritt.edu.

Lastly, this tool is a work in progress and is meant to point prospective students in the right direction. For a complete evaluation of your coursework, we highly recommend that you attend an information session and ask an admission counselor for a review of your transcripts. If you’ve already attended an information session, we’d welcome the opportunity to meet with you one on one to discuss your educational options.
