Does anyone know how Haverford College handles transfer credits? I want to make sure my previous college coursework will count toward my degree if I transfer. Any advice on this?
Haverford College does accept transfer credits, but the process is not necessarily a straightforward one. Here's a general idea of how it works:
1. When you apply to transfer, you'll need to provide transcripts from all previous colleges attended.
2. Upon admission, a preliminary review of your college transcripts will be conducted to determine which of your courses will likely transfer. Keep in mind, however, that the final decision regarding transfer credits will not be made until after you have officially enrolled in the college.
3. At Haverford College, each department typically decides what courses will count toward your major. This certainly applies to courses from other institutions.
So, I'd advise you to reach out to the Haverford College Registrar's office directly or consult with a transfer advisor to understand the college's transfer credit policy better. Having detailed course descriptions or syllabi for the courses you have taken can be particularly helpful when they review your credits. By doing so, you will get a more accurate assessment of how your credits might transfer. Good luck with your transfer process!
