I'm thinking about transferring to Brooklyn College and would like to know their policy on accepting transfer credits. How can I find out if my previous credits will apply?
To determine if Brooklyn College will accept your transfer credits, you should contact the college's Transfer Evaluations Offices directly. They typically evaluate transfer credits on a course-by-course basis. For some students, they accept credits from regionally accredited institutions for similar courses where a grade of C- or better was earned.
However, certain courses or degrees may have specific requirements or limitations, and credits from non-accredited programs or outside the U.S. may not be accepted at all. Additionally, the maximum transfer of credit can differ depending on various factors, so it is best to get personalized advice by contacting the Transfer Evaluations Offices.
Another effective way to check is through transcript evaluation which provides a report that includes your credit transferability. Remember to keep course syllabi, course descriptions, and any other documents that would assist in the evaluation process.
One critical thing to note is that acceptance of credits doesn't automatically mean they'll all count toward your intended major. You should also consult with the department of your intended major to ensure applicability to your degree. This way, you can avoid losing effort and time dedicated to the completion of your degree.
