How does college credit transfer work at Mansfield University?

I'm trying to figure out how transferring college credits works specifically at Mansfield University. Does anyone know what their policy is and what's likely to transfer from community college classes? Any tips on how to ensure credits are accepted?

Mansfield University typically accepts credits from regionally accredited institutions such as community colleges. If you took classes at your community college that align with the course requirements at Mansfield, those credits will likely be accepted.

Usually, Mansfield will accept credits for courses in which you have earned a grade of "C" or better. However, it's important to know that while the credits may transfer, your GPA does not — it resets once you start at Mansfield.

To ensure your credits transfer without any issues, here are some steps you can take:

1. Request a Transcript Evaluation: Before you apply, you can reach out to Mansfield's Admissions Office and ask for a preliminary transcript evaluation. This will give you an idea of how many of your credits are likely to transfer.

2. Consult the Transfer Equivalency Tool: Some universities have a Transfer Equivalency Tool on their website that allows you to see how courses from different institutions map to their course catalog.

3. Maintain Good Academic Standing: As mentioned before, you need to have at least a "C" grade in your community college courses for the credits to be considered.

4. Keep Syllabi: Sometimes it might be necessary to provide course syllabi to show the content covered and to determine if it matches with a course at Mansfield.

Finally, you must consult directly with the Admissions team or a transfer advisor at Mansfield University to get the most accurate and tailored information regarding credit transfer. Remember, every college has different policies and procedures concerning credit transfers, so it's important to understand Mansfield's specific process.
