How do I know how many college credits I have?

I'm trying to keep track of my college credits, but I'm not sure where to find the most accurate information. Is there an online portal or a specific office at school I should check with?

Absolutely! Typically, colleges use online portals where students can access their academic information, including credit count. This portal could be under different names depending on the college, with the common names being systems like "Student Portal" or "MyCollege." You'd generally need your university login details to access this information.

Once you're logged in, you will usually find a section named "Academic Records," "Transcripts," or "Degree Audit." These sections should give you a detailed breakdown of the courses you've taken, the grades you've received, and the number of credits you've earned towards your degree.

If you are having trouble navigating your portal or if you believe there might be errors in your credit count, I suggest you reach out to your academic advisor or the school's registrar’s office. They will be able to guide you and provide up-to-date official records.

Remember, credit calculations can vary between colleges and even between departments, especially for transfer credits and course equivalencies. Hence, having an open line of communication with academic advisors or your department’s administrative office can be very helpful in understanding your credit status.
