Transferring Courses to Idaho Colleges?

I'm considering transferring to a college in Idaho. Does anyone know how to find which courses will transfer? I'm trying to avoid retaking classes I’ve already completed.

Absolutely, transferring credits is an important consideration when moving from one college to another. Here's how you could go about it:

1. Review Articulation Agreements: Some colleges have articulation agreements with other institutions. These agreements list exactly which credits will transfer between the institutions.

2. Check Transferology: You can use a free online tool like Transferology. This tool lets you enter your completed coursework, and then shows you how that coursework could transfer to different schools, including those in Idaho.

3. Contact School's Transfer Admissions Office: Reach out to the transfer admissions office of the college you're considering in Idaho. They can provide specific guidelines for transferring credits. You might need to provide them with a detailed syllabus or course description, so they can see how the content aligns with their coursework.

4. Visit School's Website: Some colleges have a section on their website dedicated to the credits they typically accept. For example, there might be an online transfer guide or equivalency tables.

Remember to start this process early to have enough time for any potential back-and-forths with the school's administrative office. Each school has different requirements, so just because one school accepts a certain credit, that doesn’t mean another will.

Keep in mind: even if you don’t receive credit for a specific course, sometimes it’s still possible to waive certain program prerequisites. This could potentially allow you to avoid retaking the class, depending on your program's structure. This is another good topic to discuss with the transfer admissions office.
