Eastwick College transfer credits: What transfers?

I've completed some courses at Eastwick College and I'm considering transferring to another institution. How can I find out which of my credits will transfer, and what's the best way to handle possible credit discrepancies?

Sure, transferring credits between institutions can sometimes be a bit complicated. Every school has different policies and criteria when deciding whether they will accept transfer credits, which usually depends on the course's relevance to the program you are transferring into, the grade you received in the course, and the accreditation of the college where you took the course.

Generally, the process goes something like this: First, you would apply to the new institution as a transfer student. After you're accepted, the new institution would evaluate your transcripts from Eastwick College to see which credits could potentially transfer.

One thing you could do right now is, look up the new institution's transfer policy on their website, especially their guidelines on transfer credits. You might also see if they have a course equivalency tool, which you can use to input courses you've taken and see their equivalent at the new institution. This way, you could get a rough idea of how many and which credits will likely transfer.

However, the most accurate and reliable source of information will be the admissions or registrar's office of the institution you're considering transferring to. They will have the final say in which credits are accepted. By reaching out to them directly, you can explain your situation and get advice that's tailored to you. Make sure to have access to all your relevant academic records and course descriptions handy, as they may ask for specifics about the courses you've completed at Eastwick.

If some courses aren't initially recognized or if some credits are not transferred, you can try discussing this with the registrar's office further. Be prepared with your course syllabi, assignments, and other course material to argue your case. The school might reconsider if you can demonstrate that your Eastwick courses align closely with the courses at your new institution.

Remember, while it's ideal to have as many courses transfer as possible, you might not get every credit transferred due to differences in curriculum and course requirements from one school to another. Best of luck in your transfer process!
