How do class credits transfer to Colby-Sawyer College?

I'm considering transferring to Colby-Sawyer College and I'm curious about how my class credits will transfer. Does anyone know if they have a specific credit transfer policy or if it’s generally easy to transfer credits there?

Colby-Sawyer College, like many other colleges and universities, evaluates transfer credits on a course-by-course basis. They generally accept credits for equivalent courses taken at other regionally accredited institutions, with a grade of 'C' or better. Some specific programs may have extra requirements, like needing a higher grade for major-specific classes.

However, it's also significant to note that there are typically limits on the total number of credits that can be transferred. For example, some institutions require that a certain percentage of your coursework is completed directly through them to receive a degree.

Given these typical structures, it is advisable to get in touch with their Registrar’s Office and/or Admission Office to discuss your individual case further. They can provide a more accurate sense of which credits will likely transfer, considering the academic programs you're interested in. This will give you a clearer picture before making your move.

Also, asking your current school's advising office for a transcript of your coursework would be a good first step. You can provide this to Colby-Sawyer during your conversations, for them to have an understanding of your academic history.

Bear in mind to verify that the courses that are considered 'equivalent' over at Colby-Sawyer do indeed align with your much-needed credits for your intended degree.
