Transferring credits from Washtenaw Community College?

I'm currently at Washtenaw Community College and looking into transferring to a four-year university. How do I find out which of my credits will transfer smoothly?

It's crucial to understand that the transferability of your credits largely depends on the university you are planning to transfer to. Every four-year university has policies regarding which and how credits from different community colleges are accepted.

Firstly, reach out to the admissions office of the university you wish to transfer to. They should be able to provide you with some guidance regarding credit transfers.

To help with this process, some universities will often have Transfer Credit Equivalency tables available online where you can search for your current college and see course equivalencies.

Your next step would be to engage with your current academic advisor at Washtenaw Community College. Advisors are quite knowledgeable in these matters and often have information about which of Washtenaw's courses usually transfer successfully to different universities.

For a more in-depth understanding, consider reaching out to the specific department of your intended major at the four-year university. They can give detailed insights regarding how your credits would map to the requirements of the major.

Remember that not all credits might be accepted. This can vary depending on the university and also the specific major. Some universities allow for more credits to be transferred when it comes to general education courses, compared to major-specific courses.

This process can be quite convoluted and it's recommended to do this well ahead of time to ensure a smooth transition. Good luck with your transfer process!
