Transferring from Boston College to ASU

Is it feasible to transfer from Boston College to Arizona State University, and if so, what should I know about the process? Are credits easily transferred or should I expect some challenges?

Absolutely, it is feasible to transfer from Boston College to Arizona State University (ASU) - students transfer between institutions all the time for a variety of reasons. However, there are a few things you should keep in mind throughout the process.

Firstly, you need to check out ASU's transfer credit guide. This tool allows you to see how courses you've taken at Boston College will transfer to ASU. If your courses aren't listed, it doesn't automatically mean they won't transfer - you'll just need to work with an ASU transfer advisor to assess your situation.

Secondly, make sure you look into ASU's transfer application process and requirements. Note the deadlines for the specific term you're looking to start in and check if your intended major has any specific requirements for transfer students.

Also, keep in mind that the general rule of thumb is that schools prefer to transfer credits for classes where you earned a C or better, but this can vary by institution and sometimes by the specific program of study.

Financial aid is another important aspect to consider. If you are currently receiving financial aid at Boston College, you should reach out to ASU's financial aid office about your transfer to understand how your aid package might change and what additional scholarships or financial aid may be available to you as a transfer student.

Lastly, as part of the transfer process, you will have to send an official transcript from Boston College to ASU. Depending on ASU's admissions timeline and the speed of Boston College's registrar's office, you might want to initiate this as soon as you start your application.

I hope this gives you a good starting point for your transfer process. Good luck with everything!
