How do transfer credits work at Brookhaven College?

I'm planning to transfer to Brookhaven College and want to make sure my credits will transfer. Does anyone have experience with their transfer credit process? Do they offer an evaluation service before applying?

Each college or university has specific policies for transfer credits, but the process is often similar. Upon applying or following acceptance, you would request an official transcript from every college or university that you've attended, and send these to Brookhaven College for evaluation.

Usually, an admissions or registrar officer would assess each course from your previous institutions to determine whether the class content aligns with what Brookhaven offers, and whether the difficulty level of coursework is equal or stronger. If matches are found, the officer commonly assigns the equivalent Brookhaven course to that credit. These credits often count toward general education or major requirements, but can sometimes be elective credits instead.

I'd encourage contacting Brookhaven admissions directly. While many colleges do offer a preliminary or unofficial evaluation before applying, each institution has its own policies and services, so only they can provide the most accurate and current information or resources available to you.

As advice, document every conversation and save all the course syllabi from your previous institutions since detailed course content could be useful in the credit evaluation process. Gather full descriptions of your previous coursework, and since course catalogues or websites often omit this, course syllabi, assignments, and exams can be used to demonstrate the course content and rigors.
