How do Carrington College credits transfer to other schools?

I'm currently enrolled at Carrington College and wondering if my credits will transfer to other colleges or universities. What steps should I take to ensure a smooth transfer process?

The transfer of credits largely depends on the institution you're planning to transfer to. Not all colleges or universities will accept credits from Carrington College, as the transfer of credits is not guaranteed and is subject to the discretion of the receiving institution.

First, you should find out the accreditation status of Carrington College. Colleges that are regionally accredited are more likely to have credits that can transfer to other institutions, while nationally accredited colleges may have less transferability. Then, you should consult with the admissions offices or the registrar's office at the college or university you're considering transferring to. They usually have transfer credit evaluators who can review your transcripts and tell you what credits would likely transfer.

It's also beneficial to speak with your academic advisor at Carrington College and get their guidance on the transfer process. They might already have relationships with the colleges or universities you're interested in and can provide advice based on experience.

Ensure that you maintain good grades, as a high GPA can increase the chance of your credits being accepted by another institution. Also, collect detailed course syllabi as institutions you plan to transfer to may need it to evaluate the content of the courses taken.

Finally, you should be aware that not all credits may transfer, as each school will have its own policies and decisions are made on a course-by-course basis. Ensure to plan accordingly, so you're not overly surprised or set back by any credits that unfortunately may not transfer.
