Before You Use the Tool

This tool is designed to help prospective students identify prerequisite course equivalencies. Because Samuel Merritt University receives applications from many institutions, not every school or course is included.

If you do not find your school or course, or if you believe course information has changed, please contact the Office of Admission at admission@samuelmerritt.edu with:

  • The institution name
  • The course description
  • The program requirement you would like reviewed

For a complete evaluation of your coursework, attend an information session or speak with an admission counselor. If you’ve already attended an information session, we encourage you to schedule an individual transcript review to discuss your educational options.
