Can credits from NCC be transferred to Queens College?

I'm currently attending Nassau Community College and I'm thinking about transferring to Queens College next year. Does anyone know if the credits I've earned will transfer over without any issues?

Transferring credits between community colleges and four-year institutions is a fairly common process, although the specifics can vary from college to college. In your case, it will depend on Queens College's transfer credit policy and whether the courses you've taken at Nassau Community College match with the course requirements there.

Typically, colleges accept transfer credits for courses where you've earned a grade of 'C' or above. It's important to note that even if your credits do transfer, the grades you received at NCC will not affect your GPA at Queens College - they'll simply count towards the total number of credit hours you need to earn your degree.

You should reach out to both Nassau Community College's Office of Registrar or Transfer Services and Queens College's Admissions Office to discuss your specific situation. You might also be required to submit syllabi or course descriptions to establish equivalency with courses at Queens College.

Again, keep in mind that while generally credits for equivalent courses and those that meet general education requirements tend to transfer relatively smoothly, it's harder to receive credit for specialized or upper-level courses. The advice to seek detailed counsel from both institutions is paramount in making sure no credit is lost in the transfer.
