Does Bellevue College offer a transfer audit service?

I want to ensure all my Bellevue College credits will transfer smoothly. Is there a service or office that helps students audit their transfer readiness and ensure credits will be recognized by their next institution?

Yes, Bellevue College does have a system to assist with transfer audits. The school's academic advisors work with students to complete a process known as a degree audit. This audit evaluates your academic progress and applies completed coursework toward degree requirements to see what credits you have and what you still need. This tool helps track how all your credits will apply towards your intended degree and what courses may still be required.

It's also good to keep in mind that the transferability of your credits depends on the program and institution you're aiming for. Thus, it can be helpful to meet with an admissions counselor from your intended institution or use a tool like Transferology, online platforms that clarify how your credits might transfer to other institutions across the U.S. The specific school where you're planning to transfer may also have a direct system to do a preliminary credit evaluation.

It is always recommended that you save the syllabi from your classes as well, as they can sometimes help get your credits recognized by another institution, especially for major-specific classes. For instance, if a university isn't sure whether to accept a transferred credit, it can review the syllabus to ascertain if the content aligns with its curriculum.
