How do transfer classes work at the College of Charleston?

I'm interested in how transfer classes are evaluated at the College of Charleston. How do I find out if my current classes will transfer, and is there a way to verify this before applying?

The process of transferring classes at the College of Charleston, like many universities, involves an evaluation of the credits you have earned at your current institution. This is done by the transfer evaluations team at the College of Charleston who carefully reviews your transcripts to determine which classes can be transferred. They will consider factors such as the rigor and content of your previous courses and how those align with the academic standards at the College of Charleston.

To figure out if your current classes will transfer, the College of Charleston provides an online Transfer Resource Center. Here, you can access the Transfer Equivalency Self-Service (TESS) tool. You can use this tool to enter your current classes and see their equivalent at the College of Charleston. This can give you a general idea of how your credits may transfer before applying.

Remember, this is only a general guide. The official determination of transfer credit acceptance is given once you are admitted and your official transcripts have been evaluated by the College of Charleston’s Registrar’s Office. It's important to remember that the application of transfer credits toward completion of your specific degree requirements will be determined by your academic advisor.

It's always a good idea to also reach out to an admissions representative at the College of Charleston as they can provide more detailed and personalized insight into your situation. While the process of transferring credits can sometimes seem complex, they can guide you through the process and help address any concerns you might have.
