I've completed quite a few classes at my current school and want to make sure as many credits as possible transfer to Edgewood College. What's the process for evaluating these credits, and are there any tools to see what might transfer?
When you apply for transfer to Edgewood College, your transcripts will be evaluated by the school's registrar who determines what credits will be transferred based on the relatedness of the courses to the curriculum at Edgewood. However, it is worthwhile to note that only classes in which you earned a C- grade or higher are eligible for transfer.
As for the tools, you can use transfer equivalency systems, if available, to determine which of your credits will be eligible for transfer. Some schools also have transfer agreements or articulation agreements with other specific institutions, making the transfer process clear and straightforward.
Bear in mind that even if a course is transferred, it may not necessarily apply to your major or core curriculum requirements. Also, although a vast majority of your credits may be accepted, there may be a limit on how many you can apply towards your degree at Edgewood.
The final step is to reach out to an enrollment advisor or a counselor at Edgewood who can guide you through the process and provide a preliminary assessment of your transcripts. Transferring can seem complex but the staff at Edgewood will strive to make it as smooth as possible for you! Remember to ask about any possible transfer scholarships as well, as that might help in making your decision.
