How does Credit Transfer Work at Aquinas College?

I'm considering transferring to Aquinas College but I'm not sure how the credit transfer process works. How do I know which of my current credits will transfer?

When it comes to transferring credits, Aquinas College examines each transfer application on a case-by-case basis. They analyze the courses you've taken at your previous institution and compare them to the course content at Aquinas. The college generally accepts credits from regionally accredited institutions provided the content aligns with their curriculum and you've earned a grade of a 'C' or better. However, technical or vocational coursework may not transfer.

To start, you could do a preliminary evaluation yourself by checking your course descriptions against the equivalent courses offered at Aquinas. This can give you a basic idea of how many credits might transfer.

When you apply for admission to Aquinas College as a transfer student, you would typically submit official transcripts from any post-secondary schools you’ve attended, so the college can conduct their official transfer credit evaluation.

Almost always, you'll have an assigned admissions counselor or academic advisor who would walk you through the process, help you understand how many of your credits will transfer, and help set up your academic plan at Aquinas.

Remember, just because a course transfers, it doesn't mean that it will necessarily apply to your degree. Some courses might become elective credits if there is no direct equivalent at Aquinas, or if the direct equivalent is not required for your chosen major.

Lastly, it's worth mentioning that even though transferred credits can be applied towards your degree, they will not factor into your Aquinas GPA.

This is the general process, but you should reach out directly to Aquinas to understand their specific policies and procedures for credit transfer.
