I'm thinking about transferring some credits to Broward College, but I'm unsure about how to get my transcript sent. What steps do I need to take to make sure the credits transfer correctly?
Transferring credits to Broward College involves several steps:
1. Apply for Admission: Before you can transfer credits, you first need to apply to Broward College. Be sure to declare the program you wish to pursue, as the credits transfer might be affected by your chosen academic path.
2. Order Your Transcripts: You'll need to order official copies of your transcripts from the Registrar's Office of every college and university you've attended so far. Keep in mind that Broward College won't accept unofficial transcripts or transcripts sent by the student, so be sure to specify the transcripts should be sent directly to Broward College.
3. Have Transcripts Sent to Broward College: You must have your transcripts sent directly to Broward College's Registrar's Office.
4. Transcript Evaluation Request: Once you've applied to Broward College and have had your transcripts sent, you need to submit a Transcript Evaluation request. This can be done online through your student account.
5. Wait for Evaluation: Once you've requested your transcripts to be evaluated, the transfer process is in the hands of Broward College. It may take a few weeks for your transcripts to be evaluated and for the credits to be transferred, so it's best to start this process well in advance of your desired enrollment date.
6. Check Your Degree Audit: Once your transfer credits have been evaluated, you should check your Degree Audit in your Broward College student portal. This will show which credits were accepted and how they will be applied to your chosen program.
Remember to reach out to the Admissions or Registrar's Office at Broward College if you have any questions or concerns about the process. They can provide guidance and help you understand what needs to be done to ensure a smooth and successful credit transfer.
