How does Columbus State Community College handle credit transfers? I'm worried about losing credits from my current school. Can anyone share their experience with how smoothly credits transfer over?
Columbus State Community College (CSCC) is generally receptive to transfer credits from accredited institutions. If you've taken college-level courses at another accredited institution, you could potentially transfer those credits to CSCC. To find out which credits you can transfer, the first step is to send your official transcript from your current school to the CSCC Office of the Registrar.
After that's done, the CSCC transfer team will evaluate your transcript for equivalent courses at CSCC and assign you the appropriate credits. This is typically a process that is handled smoothly, but the time it takes can vary depending on the time of year.
Do bear in mind that not all credits will necessarily transfer, especially if the courses you took are not similar to those offered at CSCC or fall outside of the scope of your chosen program at CSCC.
To minimize the chance of credits not transferring, consider sharing your current school's course syllabi with the CSCC transfer team, so they can get a better understanding of the content and make a more informed decision about which credits to accept.
Again, this is a general outline of the process and it's always best to speak directly with CSCC's transfer team or an advisor. They can provide the most accurate and updated information tailored to your specific circumstances.
