Understanding Transfer Credits at Connecticut College

I'm considering transferring to Connecticut College and I'm curious about how transfer credits work. Do they accept most credits from other schools, and is there a limit to how many I can transfer? Any insights would be great!

Connecticut College typically accepts up to 60 credits from a four-year institution or up to half of your degree requirements, don't worry. As a general rule, they'll accept credits with a grade of C or better from accredited colleges and universities, and the courses should be comparable to those offered in their curriculum.

You should keep in mind that department chairpersons have discretion over which credits satisfy specific major or minor requirements, so not all of your credits may apply directly to your intended major or minor.

Lastly, it's important to know that 64 credits towards your degree must be completed at Connecticut College. This is to ensure that enough coursework is done at the actual institution to justify the degree.

Make sure to also submit your transcripts to Connecticut College's Registrar’s Office to get an official credit evaluation. Don't hesitate to reach out to their admissions office, they'll be happy to help you navigate this process!
