Are SNHU credits transferable to other colleges?

I'm taking courses at SNHU right now but might want to transfer to another institution. Does anyone know if SNHU credits are generally transferable elsewhere? I'd appreciate hearing about any personal experiences.

While credit transferability largely depends on the receiving institution, it's important to note that Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) is a regionally accredited institution which usually enables easier transfer of credits compared to nationally accredited institutions. However, each college or university will have its transfer policy, so it's crucial to reach out to the admissions office of your prospective school to obtain accurate information about their credit transfer policy.

Many factors can impact the transfer of credits such as the course grade, how closely the course's content aligns with the equivalent course at the potential transfer school, and the level of the course (200-level, 300-level, etc.).

In many cases, you may also be asked to provide a course syllabus or a course description from the SNHU course catalog to determine credit transfer.

To summarize, even though SNHU is regionally accredited, the transferability of credits is never a guarantee. Each receiving institution decides whether to accept transfer credits on a case-by-case basis. Therefore, do your due diligence and reach out to your prospective school to clarify this matter.
