Transferring Credits from CC to Boston University

Hey guys, I currently attend a community college and I'm considering transferring to Boston University. Are they good with accepting transfer credits? And how do I find out whether my obtained credits will be accepted?

When it comes to transferring credits, Boston University (BU) tends to recognize many credits obtained from accredited colleges or universities, including community colleges. However, the acceptance of these credits is not guaranteed and will be subject to the review of the specific department at BU.

Generally, BU accepts transfer credits for courses that are similar in content and depth to the ones it offers, and for which you've received grades of C or higher. Credits earned in technical or vocational courses might not be eligible for transfer.

To find out if your credits will be accepted, you'll probably need to reach out directly to BU's admissions office or potentially the academic department related to your intended major. They will be able to guide you through the process and provide the most accurate evaluation of which credits might be accepted.

You won't know exactly which of your credits will transfer until after you're admitted and have submitted your official college transcripts to BU. But you can get a sense of the process and potentially some initial indications by reaching out to the admissions office or the relevant department.

Please do remember that while transferring credits can help you possibly graduate earlier or ease your course load, some students choose to retake certain classes to refresh their knowledge or to adapt to the teaching style and rigor at their new institution. So, these factors are worth considering when you decide which credits to transfer.
