I'm currently studying at Collin College and planning to transfer to Dallas Baptist University. I'd like to know if DBU generally accepts credits from Collin College without many issues.
Yes, Dallas Baptist University (DBU) does accept transfer students from community colleges, including Collin College. As for whether or not your specific credits will transfer, it generally depends on the course content and whether it aligns with the DBU curriculum. In most cases, general education and foundational courses will transfer directly.
However, remember that the transferability of specific courses is subject to the discretion of DBU. Because of this, it's recommended that you reach out to the DBU's transfer admissions office and ideally provide them with your transcript or a list of courses you've taken at Collin College. They should be able to give you a more precise evaluation of what credits will transfer.
Similarly, DBU has an online Transfer Equivalency System where you can check the transferability of each course from Collin College to DBU. It would be beneficial for you to check this resource as you continue to plan your transfer.
Keep in mind, that it's also crucial to maintain a good GPA to facilitate a smoother transfer process. DBU typically looks for transfer students to have at least a 2.5 GPA, but meeting this threshold doesn't guarantee admission.
