I'm trying to understand what information comes in a transfer credit report at Brooklyn College. Does it just show which credits transfer, or does it include how they'll apply to my major too?
At Brooklyn College, once you're accepted as a transfer student, they developed a Transfer Credit Report specifically for you.
This report provides a comprehensive overview of how your credits relate to the course requirements at Brooklyn College. Specific information it includes are:
- The names and course numbers of the courses you've taken at previous institutions.
- The number of credits they have deemed transferable from each course.
- How those credits align with the requirements for a degree at Brooklyn College.
Yes, it does include how they'll apply to your major too. It maps out how the credits from the courses you've taken at previous institutions will fulfill the requirements of your major at Brooklyn College. It basically provides you a detailed description of how close you are to achieving your degree based on the credits you've transferred.
Remember, not all courses from your previous institution necessarily translate directly into your new degree program, especially if they aren't directly related to your major or Brooklyn College's core curriculum.
Also note, it's always a good idea to meet with an academic advisor to review your Transfer Credit Report to ensure you understand everything and know what's expected to complete your degree. They'll be able to provide greater insight into how your transferred credits specifically fulfill the requirements of your major.
