How does Dartmouth process transfer credits?

I'm looking to transfer to Dartmouth College, and I have a bunch of credits from another school. Can anyone explain how Dartmouth handles transfer credits?

Dartmouth College has a transfer credit process in place to evaluate coursework completed at other accredited institutions. The Registrar evaluates transfer credits once a student has been admitted and has decided to enroll at Dartmouth.

First and foremost, when it comes to course equivalence, Dartmouth typically awards transfer credit for a course if it's comparable to a course offered by a Dartmouth department or program and if a grade of B- or better was earned in the course. Courses must also have been taken at an accredited college or university, and be something that Dartmouth considers to be a college-level course.

When it comes to how much credit you can receive, Dartmouth doesn’t award fractional or partial credits. For this reason, Dartmouth generally counts three semester-hour credits (or the equivalent) as one Dartmouth course credit. A course worth 4-6 semester-hour credits (or the equivalent) is also typically counted as one Dartmouth credit.

However, at least two years of the Dartmouth undergraduate program must be completed within the college, and Dartmouth doesn’t accept transfer credit for internships, practicums, or similarly practice-based experiences.

So, once you have been admitted and have chosen to enroll at Dartmouth, you can start the process by submitting your institution's catalog or course materials, such as syllabi and reading lists, to Dartmouth's Registrar's Office for review.

Lastly, it's important to keep in mind that transfer credit acceptance isn't guaranteed, and it can vary depending on the specifics of your coursework and Dartmouth's policies. If you have specific questions about your credits or situation, you may want to speak directly with Dartmouth's Registrar's Office. They'll have the freshest and most up-to-date information, and can guide you through the specifics of the process.
