I'm thinking about enrolling at Ashworth College, but I might want to transfer credits later. Has anyone had experience with how their transfer credit process works? Is it easy to transfer credits to other colleges?
Ashworth College does accept transfer credits from regionally accredited colleges and universities. They also accept credits awarded by examination, military training, and job training evaluated by the American Council on Education. This can minimize your course load by giving credit for what you already know, and help you to save on tuition.
However, all credits transferred must correspond directly to course descriptions in the Ashworth College programs to be accepted. Furthermore, these credits must come from an institution that is accredited by an accrediting body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Also, remember that only a specific percentage of total program credits are usually accepted as transfer credits.
However, the transfer of credits from Ashworth College to another institution is not guaranteed and is at the sole discretion of the institution to which you wish to transfer. Not all institutions accept credits from nationally accredited colleges like Ashworth College. Therefore, if you're considering transferring credits from Ashworth to another institution in the future, it's highly recommended that you check the transferability beforehand with that institution.
As a general rule of thumb, always research the credit transfer policies of both the college you're enrolling in and the colleges to which you hope to transfer credits later on. That way, you can understand the process fully and make an informed decision about your education.
