I'm currently at a community college taking a foreign language course, and I'm planning to transfer to FSU. Does anyone know if these language credits will transfer smoothly to FSU?
While the transfer of specific college credits often depends on various factors such as the particular curriculum of the course and the agreement between the community college and FSU, generally, credits from accredited institutions do transfer to FSU. In most cases, these credits are initially evaluated by FSU's admission office and a more detailed review is carried out by release departments once a student is admitted.
For foreign language courses, typically credits earned from a similar level of coursework at an accredited community college should transfer to FSU.
However, to ensure that your credits will transfer without issues, it would be a good idea to speak directly to an academic advisor at FSU or at your current community college. They can offer you more personal advice based on your specific situation and courses. You may also contact FSU's Office of Admissions to discuss your particular case, as they handle transfer students' cases quite frequently. Don't forget to provide them with a detailed syllabus for each of your courses, as that can aid in the credit evaluation process.
In addition, FSU has a tool named "Transferology" that allows you to see how your courses will transfer from your current institution. Checking this can give you a clearer picture of what to expect when you transfer.
