Transferring credits from Bucks County Community College to Drexel

I'm currently attending Bucks County Community College and considering transferring to Drexel. Can anyone share their experiences with transferring credits? How smooth is the process, and are there any tips to avoid losing credits?

As a current college student who has also navigated the transfer process, I completely understand your concern regarding credit transfer, as it's an important, yet often tricky step in the transfer process.

Here's what you should know:

Drexel University generally accepts transfer credits for college level courses earned at regionally accredited institutions where a grade of C (2.0) or better was received. Bucks County Community College is regionally accredited, so your courses should ideally fulfill this requirement.

To ensure a smooth process, you should contact Drexel's Transfer Center. They can guide you in evaluating your credits and how they might meet degree requirements at Drexel. Having as much information as possible about course equivalencies, prerequisites, and general education requirements will prevent any surprises and ensure optimal credit transfer.

A proactive step you can take is to learn about Drexel's course numbering system and curriculum requirements. By understanding this, you can better articulate how your previously taken courses align with Drexel's curriculum during your credit evaluation.

Lastly, remember that the final decisions about the transfer and application of credits to degree requirements will be made by Drexel's admissions office, based on not only the grade you received, but the content, level, and applicability to the Drexel curricula. Therefore, maintaining a good academic record is key, as is keeping detailed information on all the courses you have taken.

Remember, credit transfer is often a complex process, so don't hesitate to ask for clarification and assistance where needed!
