I've taken some dual credit courses at Lone Star and might move to Vermont for college. How would I find out if these credits will transfer?
The transferability of college credit is ultimately determined by the institution to which you're applying. Each school has its own policies and procedures for evaluating and accepting transfer credits. However, there are a couple of steps you can take to get a sense of whether your dual credit courses at Lone Star might transfer to colleges in Vermont.
One way is to reach out to the admissions offices of the Vermont colleges you're interested in attending. They may be able to provide you with a preliminary evaluation of your credits or at least guide you on their specific process for evaluating transfer credits.
Another resource could be the online course equivalency database, if the college has one. These tools allow you to enter your completed courses and see their equivalent at the institution.
You should keep in mind that even if the college accepts the course for credit, it might not count towards your intended major's requirements. Always verify this with your prospective department or academic advisor.
In general, most colleges should accept college-level courses in which you've earned a C grade or higher, especially in key academic subjects like English, math, sciences, social sciences, and humanities. However, it’s important to confirm this with each individual school. Good luck with your college plans!
