Do all college credits transfer?

I'm trying to figure out how the transfer process works with college credits. Do all of them transfer, or are they specific ones? I'm especially concerned about whether community college credits will count toward a bachelor's degree.

Whether all college credits transfer from one school to another often depends on several factors such as the kind of classes you took, the college you want to transfer to, the grades you achieved, and whether your courses were part of a pre-articulation agreement.

Generally, colleges will evaluate your previous coursework on a case-by-case basis, and this can sometimes be a lengthy process. Each course will need to align with the curriculum of the program to which you are planning to transfer. If the courses you have taken are considered relevant and equivalent to courses at the institution you're transferring to, then those credits should be eligible for transfer. Usually, general education courses or prerequisites for your major are more likely to transfer.

In regards to community college credits, many bachelor's degree-granting institutions do accept these credits. There are even some universities that have partnerships with community colleges to make the transfer process easier. It's always best to check with the specific institution you plan to transfer to, as each college or university may have different policies. For example, some schools have a maximum number of transfer credits they accept.

One way to ensure that your credits will transfer is to speak with advisors at both your current school and the prospective one. They can provide guidance on what specific courses are likely to transfer.

In summary, while not all college credits may be transferable, there are steps you can take to ensure that the majority of your credits are accepted by your target university. It's best to plan and speak with academic advisors to fully understand the policies of the schools involved.
