If I take summer courses at Harper College, how will those credits impact my transfer to another college? Are there any rules or limits I should be aware of before enrolling in summer classes?
College courses taken at Harper College, including those over the summer, can usually be transferred to other institutions. The specific rules and limits mainly depend on the institution to which you're planning to transfer.
Most colleges accept credits from accredited two-year or four-year institutions, which includes Harper College. However, not all credits may transfer, or they might not be counted towards your major or specific requirements. For instance, some institutions might only accept credits for courses in which you've earned a C grade or higher.
In many cases, there's also a limit to the number of credits a college will accept from another institution. For example, a four-year university might require that you complete a certain percentage of your major coursework at their institution, not transferred from elsewhere.
Many institutions have transfer equivalency databases available online. These databases can give you a sense of how credits from Harper College might be counted at the other institution.
Don't forget to reach out to an academic advisor or the admissions department at the college you plan to transfer to. They can provide the most accurate information about transfer credits and help you make the most strategic decisions about your course enrollment at Harper.
