I'm planning to transfer schools next year and need to know which websites are reliable for checking transfer credit equivalency. Are there any recommended online tools or databases I should use to ensure my credits will transfer smoothly?
One resource to consider is the official website of the university you are considering transferring to. Many colleges have a transfer equivalency database on their site. Usually, these can be found in the school's registrar's office or admissions websites.
Another useful tool to mention is Transferology. It's an online country-wide network designed to help students explore their college transfer options. After you input your coursework, it shows you what will transfer to different schools. It's intuitive to use and includes quite a few colleges and universities.
CollegeTransfer.net is another platform where you can find equivalency guides, or "articulation agreements," which are agreements between colleges specifying how certain coursework will transfer between them.
Lastly, it's always advisable to contact the admissions or registrar’s office of both your current and prospective institutions. They may have insights or additional resources that can guide you through the process, and they can also confirm whether the information you found online is accurate. Remember, it's never a bad idea to double-check your findings.
