I'm taking a few courses at the College of San Mateo and I'm considering a future transfer to Full Sail University. I'm trying to figure out if my credits will transfer smoothly. Does anyone have experience with this process?
The transfer of credits between colleges can depend on several factors, including the specific courses you took, the grades you received, and the degree program you're applying to at Full Sail University. Full Sail does accept transfer credits, but only for specific courses that align closely with their curriculum. Additionally, they only accept credits from accredited institutions.
That being said, the College of San Mateo is an accredited institution, so some of your credits may indeed transfer. Full Sail University highly recommends having your transcripts reviewed by their Registrars Department to see what transfers over before making definite plans.
It's always useful to talk to an academic advisor at both your current institution and at Full Sail. They're proficient in these matters and can provide you with more personalized guidance based on your specific situation. Remember to inquire in particular about Full Sail's transfer policies, the equivalence of the courses you've taken to the courses offered at Full Sail, and the maximum number of credits you can transfer.
