Understanding Transfer Credits at Baker College

I'm considering transferring to Baker College and want to understand how they handle transfer credits. How easy is it to transfer credits, and is there a way to check which of my credits might transfer beforehand?

Baker College does have a fairly streamlined process for transferring credits, so you should be able to move a considerable portion of your completed coursework over if accepted. Generally, they accept credits from regionally accredited colleges and universities, vocational or technical schools, and some professional certifications or licenses.

One of the ways Baker College ensures a smooth transfer process is by offering a Course Equivalency Tool. It is an online tool through which potential transfer students can determine how many and which of their previously earned credits will transfer. You can enter the classes you've taken at other institutions and see how they would fit into a specific degree at Baker College. It's not a guarantee of credit transfer, but it can give you a good idea of what to expect.

Keep in mind, that the final decision for credit transfers lies with the Registrar's Office upon official review of your transcripts. You'll want to communicate with admissions advisors at Baker College to ensure you understand the process, any potential roadblocks, and how to officially submit your previous transcripts for evaluation. Request official transcripts from your previous institutions as soon as you can, to expedite the process.

It's worth noting that a minimum grade (typically a C or better) is usually required for credits to be eligible for transfer, and remember that transfer credits might not factor into your GPA at Baker College.

Lastly, the number of credits that can be transferred will vary depending on the degree program you're interested in, so definitely discuss this with your advisor as well.
