Finding Out Which College Classes Transfer?

I'm planning a move to a new college and want to ensure the classes I've taken will count towards my new degree. What's a good way to find out which of my college classes will transfer over?

One effective way to determine which of your college credits will transfer is by contacting the registrar's office or an admissions or academic advisor at the college you're planning to transfer to. They can provide you with a preliminary evaluation of your transcript and inform you which classes will likely transfer.

Also, a number of colleges offer online transfer credit databases or equivalency tables. These resources can help you find out which courses from your current institution have been previously evaluated for transfer credit.

Additionally, keep in mind that institutions tend to accept credits from regionally accredited colleges more often than from nationally accredited ones. So, if the college you currently attend and the one you wish to move to are both regionally accredited, the probability of your credits being transferable may be higher.

Note that while some colleges accept a credit transfer, the transferred course may not necessarily count towards your new degree requirements. This is why having a detailed conversation with an advisor at your new college is crucial.

Lastly, don't forget to have your official transcripts handy. Colleges will typically need to see the official documentation of your coursework before they can make a final determination on credits.
