I'm planning to transfer to Charter Oak State College and I'm trying to figure out their credit transfer policies. Does anyone have experience with how they handle transfer credits from other colleges?
Charter Oak State College is quite transfer-friendly and has a comprehensive credit transfer policy. Their key priority is to give students the opportunity to finish their degree in a flexible and accommodating environment.
They accept credits from regionally accredited colleges and universities, provided the courses are college level and grades achieved are C- or better. The amount of credit that can be transferred is quite generous; for associate degree students, this amount is up to 87 semester hours, while bachelor degree students can transfer up to 114 semester hours.
Plus, they have a very flexible policy when it comes to credits earned from non-traditional sources such as training programs, military service, or professional certifications. These can also be assessed for potential academic credit.
It's always smart, however, to get in touch with one of the advising counselors at Charter Oak to have a conversation about your credit situation. They can provide a preliminary evaluation of your transcripts before you apply in order to give you a detailed understanding of what to expect. Just make sure to send them your official transcripts if you do plan to enroll so they can do a final, official evaluation of your credits.
