How well do credits transfer to Montgomery College?

I'm planning to enroll at Montgomery College and need to know how they handle credit transfers. Are they flexible in accepting credits from other schools, or are there limitations I should be aware of?

Montgomery College does have a process in place for credit transfers from other accredited institutions. However, there's always a certain level of discretion involved, meaning not every credit from your previous institution will necessarily transfer.

The school generally accepts transfer credits from regionally accredited institutions for similar courses in which you've earned a grade of "A," "B," "C," or "P" (for pass). However, different curricula within the college may have limitations on the use of "P" grades.

As for limitations, some programs may not accept every credit due to curriculum restrictions or if the courses are not equivalent to those offered at Montgomery. Also, keep in mind that each student is reviewed on an individual basis, and the applicability of transferred credit to specific academic programs varies.

For a more accurate prediction of which credits will transfer, Montgomery College offers a Transfer Evaluation System (TES) on its website that allows you to compare courses from your old institution to Montgomery classes. While this tool is helpful, it is not a substitute for an official credit evaluation by an academic advisor.

It's always wise to contact an academic advisor who can guide you through the process and give you more accurate information based on your specific situation. They will assess your transcripts and inform you of valid transfer credits specific to your pursued degree plan.
