A system and method for granting course credits by a first educational institution from a second educational institution. A processor at a first educational institution receives a transcript from a student and converts the transcript to a format that allows transcript data to be obtained and reviewed in an automated fashions based on criteria. Course identifying information is determined and compared by the processor to course identifying information stored in a datastore. The processor then determines what courses are eligible for transfer credit when the course identifying information in the transcript data matches at least in part course identifying information stored in the datastore. The processor may also post granted credits to a student's academic plan.
