I'm thinking about transferring to UNH and want to make sure the credits I earn will transfer smoothly. Does anyone know which colleges have a good track record for UNH credit transfer?
When it comes to transferring credits, policies can vary significantly by institution. That being said, I can offer some general advice to help you navigate the process.
Typically, credits from regionally accredited institutions are more likely to transfer successfully than those from nationally accredited or unaccredited institutions. Regionally accredited institutions often have rigorous academic standards, which can enhance the likelihood of your credits being accepted by UNH (University of New Hampshire).
Community colleges can be a great starting point, especially in New Hampshire like the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH). UNH recognizes the curriculum of CCSNH colleges; hence transferring to UNH should be pretty straightforward if you start in these colleges. There's even a handy tool on UNH's website that can help you see how each course would transfer over.
Moreover, consider consulting with UNH's transfer credit office or an academic advisor. They will be able to provide you with specific information about which credits are likely to transfer. Make sure to keep your syllabi and course descriptions, as these can help UNH accurately assess your courses' transferability.
It's also worth mentioning that school partnerships and articulation agreements can ease the process of transferring credits. Check for any existing partnerships between UNH and other institutions that might guarantee easy credit transfer.
In conclusion, while some colleges might have a better track record than others, it's really about the accreditation of the institution, the specific courses you've taken, and the requirements of your intended program at UNH. Checking in with the admissions office or academic counseling at UNH would be a wise step to ensure the smoothest transfer process possible.
