I'm considering transferring to Champlain College, but I'm not sure how their credit transfer process works. Does anyone know how they evaluate transfer credits and what the policies are like?
Champlain College normally evaluates the transfer of credits on a course-by-course basis. If you wish your credits to be transferred, you need to submit official transcripts from all post-secondary schools that you have attended. Key points to note include:
- The credits must be from a regionally accredited college or university for them to be eligible for transfer. Credits from non-regionally accredited institutions will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
- To be transferred, courses must be completed with a grade of 'C' or higher.
- Champlain College has a maximum limit of 90 transfer credits for Bachelor's degree programs.
- Champlain College generally accepts college-level coursework. However, some courses may not be transferable depending on their content or applicability to your intended program at Champlain.
- The acceptability of transfer credits toward specific major requirements is at the discretion of the respective program. Some programs may have more restrictive policies.
- Transfer of credits does not automatically equate to fulfilling specific degree requirements. The degree program you are entering will determine how the credits apply toward your degree.
Remember that this is a general policy, details might vary between programs and additional considerations may apply. It's always recommended to reach out to Champlain College's admissions department or a transfer advisor for the most precise information related to your situation and intended program.
