Which colleges have open credit transfer policies?

I'm planning to transfer schools soon and want to maximize the credits I can bring with me. Could you guys recommend colleges that have flexible credit transfer policies?

Sure, I can provide some guidance on this matter. Do bear in mind that the specifics of what credits can transfer will depend on the type of credits (AP, IB, college courses, etc.), the specific course content, and the policies of the specific institution.

That said, there are schools with reputations for having flexible transfer credit policies. Here are a few examples:

1. Arizona State University: As one of the schools with a high transfer acceptance rate, ASU also has a helpful tool on their website that lets you see how your credits would transfer.

2. The University of Maryland Global Campus: UMGC specializes in adult and non-traditional education, including transfers. They offer what's called a "transfer credit evaluation" to show you how your credits would fit into your chosen degree.

3. Oregon State University: OSU maintains a database that shows how credits from other accredited colleges and universities will transfer.

4. University of North Texas: UNT offers an extensive database to check how your credits may transfer.

5. Pennsylvania State University: Penn State has many resources to help students understand what will transfer, and they also have a Transfer Credit Tool available.

In addition to these, many community colleges have articulation agreements with state universities to ensure a smooth transition of credits. These can be a good place to start if you're looking to transfer.

Ultimately, it's important to speak with the admissions office or a college counselor of the school you're looking to transfer to, as they can provide the most accurate information about transferring credits.
