Credit transfer policies at the College of Charleston?

I’ve been considering enrolling at the College of Charleston. Can someone break down their credit transfer policies? How easily can credits be transferred to other institutions if I decide to pursue a different path later?

When it comes to transferring credits to the College of Charleston, it primarily depends on the nature of the course and the institution from which you're transferring.

Courses completed at an accredited institution that are similar in nature to a course at the College of Charleston typically transfer. The classes must have been passed with a grade of a C- or better.

The College of Charleston awards transfer credit for some AP and IB courses, with specific credits awarded depending on the score received.

However, the maximum credit hours that are eligible for transfer to an undergraduate program must not exceed 87 semester hour credits.

When it comes to the opposite scenario, where you're looking to transfer credits from the College of Charleston to another institution, the exact policy would defer to that specific institution's credit transfer process. It's worth noting that transfer policies widely vary across universities.

While it's generally the case that most institutions accept credits from the College of Charleston, since it's a regionally accredited institution, it's always best to consult the admissions department or an academic advisor at the prospective school to understand their credit transfer policies in detail.

Remember: no transfer of credit is automatic. A review process is typically required to determine course equivalencies.

In the end, to get the most accurate information on transferring credits to and from the College of Charleston, I'd recommend reaching out directly to the Registrar's Office at the College of Charleston, and the admissions office of any other schools you're considering transferring to. They are the best resources for this kind of information.
