I'm thinking about transferring to Buffalo State College and I need to understand how my current credits will transfer. Does Buffalo State have a good system for evaluating transfer credits, and who can I speak with for clarification?
Sure, Buffalo State College does indeed have a framework for evaluating transfer credits and they strive to make your transition as seamless as possible. They ascertain which of your current credits align with their requirements and how they would fit into your chosen degree program.
Usually, your previous school would need to send your transcripts to Buffalo State College's Admissions Office. They would then evaluate your transcripts in collaboration with the department for your prospective major to validate which credits can be transferred.
When considering transfer credits, they typically accept credits from the classes you’ve completed at an accredited institution with a grade of ‘C’ or better. However, do note that some majors may have specific transfer credit policies, requiring higher grades or having other stipulations.
For specific questions and guidance related to your situation, you can directly contact the Registrar's Office at Buffalo State College. They typically handle credit evaluations and will be the best resource to give you detailed insights into the transfer process. Plus, reaching out to the academic advisor associated with your intended major could offer further clarity on how your credits apply to specific departmental requirements.
Reaching out, clarifying the nuances of your case, and leaning into the resources Buffalo State provides will be integral to ensuring a smoother transfer process. Best of luck with your academic journey!
