Will Clark University accept my transfer credits?

I'm thinking about transferring to Clark University and need to know if they'll accept all or most of my existing credits. Can anyone share their experiences or any relevant info?

Clark University, like many institutions, has a process for evaluating transfer credits. Generally, they accept credits from regionally accredited colleges and universities, and the acceptability of your credits will depend on several factors.

The first factor is the equivalency of the courses. Clark will need to see if the courses you completed match up with the courses they offer in terms of content and rigor. This often involves reviewing the syllabuses for your courses.

The second factor is the grade you achieved. Typically, you'll need to have achieved a grade of C- or higher for your credits to be eligible for transfer.

Lastly, they'll look at how applicable your credits are to your intended program of study. For example, if you were previously studying Biology and now want to study Business Administration, some of your science credits may not be applicable to your new program.

Do remember that only the credit transfers, not the grade, so your GPA starts fresh when you begin at Clark University.

A standard way to get an estimate of what will transfer is to use the school's transfer credit evaluation resource or an equivalent. If Clark does not provide this, your best bet would be to directly reach out to an Admissions Officer or a Transfer Credit Evaluator at the school. You would simply need to ask them how your specific credits may transfer over based on your transcript and future course plans.

Lastly, keep in mind that at most institutions, such as Clark, a certain percentage of your credits have to be earned at the school in order to graduate from it. So not all of your credits may apply towards graduation, even if they are accepted as transfer credits by the college.

You should also initiate the credit evaluation process as early as possible, so you have a clear idea of what your academic path at Clark would look like. Be prepared to provide syllabuses and other course details from your previous institution for this process.
