Using ARTSYS©

ARTSYS is an online service that allows Maryland community college students to check course equivalencies and follow recommended transfer programs for ease in transferring to most Maryland four-year institutions. The service is available to at no cost and without a password requirement.  You and your Maryland community college advisor are encouraged to use this helpful resource. 

Please note that every effort is made to keep this website as accurate and current as possible. However, Stevenson University retains the right to make corrections and revisions at any time. ARTSYS is best used as an unofficial guideline. Any questions regarding SU Course Equivalencies and SU Recommended Transfer Programs should be addressed to the University's  Registrar’s Office.

Determining Course Equivalencies at Stevenson University:

  1. Go to ARTSYS.
  2. Choose “Course Equivalencies.”
  3. Under “Transfer from Institutions," use the dropdown menu to select your community college. Under “Transfer to Institutions,” select “Stevenson University and click “Submit.”
  4. Enter the course prefix and number at your community college to determine if it transfers to Stevenson. (If you or your community college advisor believe that a non-transferable course could possibly be equivalent to a SU course, or if the equivalent does not appear to be correct, please contact the SU Registrar’s Office.)
  5. Note that even if a course transfers to Stevenson, it may or may not apply to your chosen degree program. 

Using Recommended Transfer Programs for Stevenson University:

  1. Go to ARTSYS.
  2. Choose “Recommended Transfer Programs.”
  3. Under “Transfer from Institutions,” use the dropdown menu to select your community college. Under “Transfer to Institutions”, select “Stevenson University and click “Submit.”
  4. Enter your major, i.e., “Accounting,” or click “Next” for the entire list of Recommended Transfer Programs (RTP’s) at SU. You can look at the Sender list (your community college course numbers) and the Receiver side (Stevenson’s course numbers). 
  5. RTP’s should be used as guidelines only. You and your advisor are encouraged to contact the SU Registrar’s Office to determine if any changes in the recommended course lists have occurred.
