I've completed a good number of credits at my current college and I'm considering transferring to Lehman College. How does the credit transfer process work there, and are there any specific requirements I should be aware of?
When it comes to transferring credits, Lehman College, like most universities, evaluates credits on a case-by-case basis. The first thing you'll want to do is apply as a transfer student. After you've been admitted, Lehman College's Registrar’s Office would typically look at the courses you've taken at your current college and determine which ones are eligible for transfer.
Generally speaking, Lehman accepts credits for coursework completed at regionally accredited institutions where a grade of a C or better was received. Remember, though, it's important that the classes you've taken are similar in content and rigor to those offered at Lehman College. Lehman will accept a maximum of 90 transfer credits from a combination of 4-year college, 2-year college, and CLEP examination credits, but it can vary based on your specific situation.
Keep in mind, though, that even if you're able to transfer some credits, there still may be certain specific requirements for your intended major you'll have to fulfill at Lehman. Make sure to check with Lehman College's department for the major you're interested in to understand any specific class or credit hour requirements.
Lastly, it might be beneficial to contact the admissions department or your prospective department at Lehman College to get more detailed information. They may be able to provide insight that's more directly applicable to your situation.
