Transferring SNHU credits to another college?

I'm considering a transfer from SNHU and I'm worried about losing credits in the process. How can I check if my credits will be accepted by the new college?

Sure thing, the first step in this process is to confirm the transfer policy of your prospective school. Typically, schools have a transfer credit policy listed on their website, in the admissions or registrar's section. It should detail the grade you need to achieve for credits to be transferable (often a C or better, although that can vary), and any specific conditions or exclusions. For example, some courses might only count towards general education requirements, not your major.

After that, you might want to check if your prospective school publishes their own equivalency guide or a similar tool. Not all schools have this resource available to the public, but it's worth checking, and asking the admissions office directly to make sure you aren't missing anything.

Even if the admissions office can't provide this kind of comprehensive resource, they can likely give you general information that's relevant to your personal situation. Remember to provide them with your course syllabus or description, as this information helps them determine the equivalent courses at their institution.

Another resource that might help is the transfer agreements between colleges. Sometimes, certain colleges have articulation agreements which outline which credits will and won't transfer between the two schools. This is especially common between community colleges and four-year universities located within the same state.

Remember, each college has its own transfer policy, and there is no guarantee that every single credit will transfer. But, by doing a little research and coordinating with your prospective school, you can get a fairly clear idea of how it might look. Good luck with your transfer process!
