Community college credit transfer process for UVA?

Considering transferring to the University of Virginia from a community college. Does anyone know how the credit transfer works? I'm aiming not to repeat any courses, so all advice is appreciated!

First off, it's excellent that you're planning ahead to ensure you maximize your transfer credits. At UVA, the transfer process starts with their "Transfer Credit Evaluator," which you can find on their website. This tool is used to determine which courses will be accepted for transfer from Virginia community colleges.

Courses from other institutions will be evaluated once your application has been submitted. As a general rule, UVA accepts transfer credits for courses in which a grade of C or better was earned. However, these credits apply towards graduation and not necessarily towards your chosen major requirements. It's important to note that, despite earning credit for the course, grades from transfer credits aren't calculated in the UVA GPA.

Once you've been admitted, your Transfer Credit Report (TCR) will be available on your UVA Student Information System (SIS) account. This report will detail which of your credits have been accepted and how they will be applied.

Lastly, it's crucial to keep close communication with your academic advisor as you navigate the transfer process. They'll be able to provide you with specific guidance based on your chosen program at UVA. Best of luck with your transfer process!
