Figuring Out Transfer Equivalencies for Barton College

I'm checking out transfer equivalencies for courses from my current college to Barton College. Any advice on how I can ensure that more of my credits are counted and are there tools or resources for this?

Sure, there are several steps you can take to maximize the likelihood that your credits will be accepted by Barton College.

Firstly, if possible, focus on taking general education and prerequisite courses at your current college, as these have the highest probability of transferring across institutions. These typically include introductory level courses like Composition 101, U.S. History, and Calculus I, as well as any pre-requisite courses listed in Barton's course catalog.

Next, make sure to keep your grades up, as some colleges may only accept transferred credits if the course was passed with a certain grade (usually a C or higher).

Additionally, it's a good idea to reach out to the admissions staff at Barton College. They should be able to provide you with a list of courses from other colleges that they have accepted credits from in the past. This could give you an insight into which of your credits are more or less likely to be accepted.

Further, if you are in community college, you could also check if there is an articulation agreement between your school and Barton, which would give a more detailed explanation of which credits will transfer over.

Finally, using online tools can make the transfer process easier. Some colleges have online databases where you can look up the transfer acceptability of certain courses. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any such tool specific to Barton, but the Barton College Registrar's office might be able to point you in the right direction.

Hope these tips are useful to you! Make sure to keep all of these points in mind while planning for a potential transfer, and best of luck.
