Policies for Using pre-Brown College Work for Advanced Standing

Courses completed at an accredited, degree-granting college are eligible for transfer to Brown.  The courses must have been taken at a college or university.  Cooperative programs in which students are given college credit for courses taken at a high school are not eligible for transfer to Brown.

Students entering Brown as first-year students may not accept any credits based on this work until their sophomore year.  Students entering Brown as transfer students will have credit from their previous college transferred when they enter Brown.
