Do Charter College credits transfer to other institutions?

I'm attending Charter College and am thinking about switching schools. Can anyone share experiences or advice on successfully transferring credits to another college or university?

Transfer credits can be a bit tricky, as every college or university sets its policies regarding what credits they will accept from other institutions. It's generally best to contact the admissions or registrar's office at the institution you're considering transferring to for the most accurate and up-to-date information, as they can clarify their specific procedures and policies.

However, a few factors that generally influence whether credits from one institution can be transferred to another include the accreditation of the school, the match between the courses taken at one institution and the offerings at the other, and the grades earned in those courses. As an example, if you took a general biology course at Charter College and earned a grade of B or higher, and the school you're interested in transferring to also offers a general biology course, the transfer is more likely than if you're trying to earn credit for a more specialized course that may not have a direct equivalent at Charter College.

Charter College is nationally accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES). Credits from nationally accredited schools are sometimes not accepted by regionally accredited schools, which are often more selective. If the school you're considering transferring to is also nationally accredited or is less selective, it may be more likely that your credits from Charter College would be accepted. Nonetheless, remember to reach out to the potential transfer school to better understand their requirements.

In summary, the specifics depend on the individual school's policy. Make note of the courses you've taken and the grades you've earned, and have this information handy when you contact your potential transfer schools, so they can give you more precise guidance.
