Trocaire College is here to help support your academic journey. We know many students come to us with prior academic and life experiences that could be parlayed into transfer credits, and we are committed to making that process as easy and transparent as possible.

Trocaire has partnered with the CollegeSource Transfer Evaluation System (TES) to provide the Transfer Credit Guide that can be used to map successfully earned college credits into Trocaire College.
