I'm considering transferring to Knox College but I'm not sure how many of my courses will transfer over. Does anyone know the limits or requirements for transferring courses there?
Knox College has a fairly generous credit transfer policy. While there is not a specific cap on the number of credits that can be transferred, it's important to know that you must complete at least 18 credits (which is equivalent to about 2 years of full-time study) directly through Knox College to be eligible to earn a degree from the institution. These 18 credits typically consist of your upper-level courses and major-specific classes.
However, transferability of specific courses depends on their equivalency with courses offered at Knox. A rule of thumb is that courses which are similar in content to those offered at Knox and in which you've earned a grade of C- or higher are more likely to be transferred. Knox College doesn't accept courses that are purely vocational or remedial in nature.
It's usually best to contact the Knox College Office of the Registrar directly or use their "Transfer Evaluation System" online which gives you an estimate of how many credits you're likely to receive. This system isn't comprehensive and some courses may not be listed, but it gives a solid starting point.
Remember this info may change, and it's wise to check directly with Knox College for the most accurate information. An individual consultation devoted to your situation can help smooth out the transfer process and ensure you get the most out of your previously earned credits.
