I'm planning to transfer some credits to Bellevue College, and I need help figuring out how their transfer equivalency works. How can I check which of my courses will transfer over smoothly?
Typically, colleges have a transfer equivalency database or tool you can utilize to determine how credits from another institution will transfer to their university. Bellevue College should have something similar.
Start by searching "Bellevue College transfer equivalency" in an online search engine. If there is an online tool, this should bring it up. If not, look on Bellevue College's official website for information about credit transfers.
Generally, these tools will allow you to input the institution where you earned the credits and the specific courses you took. They will then tell you how those courses will transfer to Bellevue.
Keep in mind that this tool only provides an estimation. The final decision on credit transferability is made by Bellevue College once they receive and evaluate your official transcript.
Even in cases where courses aren't listed in the database, it doesn't necessarily mean they won't be accepted. Colleges usually have a process where students can petition for course-specific credits to be accepted, though this generally requires providing syllabi or other detailed course materials for review.
Once you've looked up your classes, I'd recommend getting in touch with Bellevue's Registrar's Office or a Transfer Admissions Officer if possible. They will be able to provide the most reliable, current information and explain the process for transferring credits.
