How do Delta College transfer credits work?

I'm thinking about transferring from Delta College and I'm curious about the process. How do I know if my credits will be accepted by the new college? Any tips on ensuring a smooth transfer?

When it comes to transferring from Delta College, the transferability of your credits mostly depends on the institution you're considering transferring to. The general rule of thumb, however, is that colleges are more likely to accept credits for courses where you earned a C or above.

You could start the process by carefully reading through the transfer credit policies of the college you're interested in. Each college typically has a section of their website dedicated to transfer students, where they outline what kind of credit they accept, the minimum accepted grade, course equivalencies, and so forth.

To be proactive, reach out to the admissions department or the registrar's office of the potential college. They're generally the best sources of accurate and updated information about credit transfer policies. You may also consider arranging a meeting with an academic advisor if possible, as they can guide you through the process and help to clarify any complexities.

Another resource available within Delta College is the Transfer Center. This center can assist you in the transfer process and help facilitate communication with your prospective university regarding transfer credits.

Just remember, each college has its 'articulation agreement' with other institutions. These agreements lay out which credits are transferable, and in what capacity. Colleges may have specific agreements with Delta College, so you can also look for those on your prospective school's website.

Some last tips: keep detailed records of all the course syllabi and coursework. These may be helpful if the new college needs detailed information about what was covered in a course. Good luck with your transfer process! Your proactivity in seeking information shows great initiative and I'm confident that this trait will make your transfer go as smoothly as possible.
