I'm planning to move on from Piedmont Technical College, but I'm not sure which courses will transfer to my desired four-year university. Does anyone have experience with this or know where I can find detailed transfer credit info?
From my understanding, the best way to verify which of your Piedmont Technical College courses would likely transfer to your prospective four-year university is by directly contacting that university's admissions office or registrar. They should be able to provide you with a comprehensive list of transferable courses, both general and major-specific.
However, another resource that might be useful is your school's articulation or transfer agreement if it has one with the school you're applying to. Such agreements often outline the accepted courses for transfer between the two institutions.
Moreover, depending on the university, they might have an online transfer equivalency database that details how courses from a community college or another university translate to their institution. You can typically search this to see how your courses from Piedmont Technical College might translate.
Lastly, keep in mind that the transferability of credits does not just depend on the institution but also on the specific program of study you intend to enroll in at the four-year university. Some programs might be less flexible about the transfer of credits. Consequently, they may accept fewer credits than others, even within the same school.
Ensure to consider all these factors as you plan your transition to a four-year university from Piedmont Technical College.
