How does Endicott College handle transfer credits? I'm curious about the criteria they use to accept credits from other institutions, and if there's a maximum number of credits they allow you to transfer in.
When transferring to Endicott College, the school does have a specific process to evaluate and accept credits from other accredited institutions. While the official evaluation of transfer credits does not occur until after your admission to the college, Endicott does provide some guidelines on how they treat these credits.
Firstly, they only accept transfer courses from regionally accredited institutions. For a course to be considered for transfer, you should have earned a grade of 'C' or better in that course. Even then, the acceptance of that course rests on the comparison of that course's content with the ones offered at Endicott.
As for a maximum limit, Endicott College allows up to 85 transfer credits for bachelor’s degree programs. However, please keep in mind that you must complete a minimum of 45 credits at Endicott to graduate and your last two semesters prior to graduation should be taken at the college.
Remember that while they set these guidelines, the final determination about which credits will transfer is made by the Academic Dean over your area of study. So, it's often a good idea to reach out to the admissions office at Endicott or an academic advisor for more specific details, tailored to your situation.
