How do I transfer credits to Augsburg College?

I'm considering transferring to Augsburg College and I'm curious about how their credit transfer process works. Does anyone have experience with this and can share insights on what's generally accepted?

The process to transfer credits to Augsburg University generally involves a few key steps.

First, it's important to understand that Augsburg takes a look at each course individually to see if it's transferable or not. They accept college-level courses taken at regionally accredited colleges, and for the most part, courses completed with a grade of 'C-' or better get accepted. The department of your desired major is ultimately the one that decides how your courses transfer into Augsburg, and how they fit into your desired curriculum.

Second, once you have indicated an interest in transferring to Augsburg, you will be assigned an enrollment counselor, who can help with the transfer credit evaluation process. This usually involves sending your official transcript(s) over to Augsburg, after which an evaluation is conducted to determine which credits are transferable and how they will be applied towards your intended degree.

Lastly, once the evaluation process is complete, you'll receive a report that outlines how your credits may be applied towards specific requirements at Augsburg. This could be toward general education requirements, major or minor requirements, or as electives. Your enrollment counselor will work with you to review this report and help guide you through the next steps.

Remember, if you have specific courses in question, it might be a good idea to reach out directly to the admissions office or your enrollment counselor for a preliminary review before you apply. They won't be able to give specifics, but they should be able to provide some guidance based on past experiences with similar cases.

Also, if you've taken any type of non-traditional coursework or exams (like AP, IB, or CLEP), make sure you mention them, as these may also be eligible for transfer credits depending on your scores.

As a final note, the process may be different if you have credits from an international institution. If this is your case, I would strongly advise contacting the admissions office to understand the specific requirements and guidelines.

Remember, transferring credits can take some time and effort, but with diligence and communication, it can be a very manageable process. Good luck with your transfer journey!
