How does Manhattan University handle transfer credits? I'm curious about how my current credits will be evaluated when I transfer. Does anyone have personal experience with this?
Manhattan University evaluates transfer credits on a course-by-course basis. When you apply for transfer, the Admissions Office will conduct a preliminary evaluation of your transcript to determine which courses may transfer. Once you get accepted, the Office of the Registrar will then conduct a more detailed evaluation.
Courses where you received a grade of C- or better usually get accepted, as long as they’re similar to courses offered at Manhattan University. However, not all credits may be applicable to the major or curriculum, which is an important factor to consider while planning your transition.
Also, bear in mind that there's a maximum limit to the number of credits that you can transfer. Typically, you must complete half of your major’s requirements at Manhattan University, so you won't be able to transfer all of your credits if they exceed this limitation.
Unfortunately, the college doesn't publish a transfer equivalency database publicly, so for a specific course, you might want to reach out to the admissions office directly or talk to an academic advisor.
Lastly, remember that transferring credits is only part of the equation. It's vital for you to understand how your credits will fit into your degree plan at Manhattan University in terms of fulfilling the requirements for your intended major. It's a good idea to talk this over with your academic advisor, or possibly an advisor at Manhattan University if you have access, to make sure your current courses align with your education goals after the transfer.
