How to transfer CIHS credits to college?

I'm enrolled in CIHS courses and need to know how the transfer process works. Are there specific colleges more likely to accept CIHS credits, or do I need to request a transcript? Any tips would be great!

The process of transferring College in High School (CIHS) credits to a college varies by institution, but I can offer some general guidance to help get you started.

CIHS credits, being actual college credits you've earned in high school, are generally transferrable to most colleges and universities within the same country. Unlike AP or IB credits, you won't necessarily have to pass a standardized test to transfer them, since they are equivalent to courses taken at a college or university.

However, acceptance of these credits can vary greatly depending on the college. Generally, the closer the connection between your high school's CIHS program and the college you're transferring to, the more likely your credits will be accepted. For instance, if you earned your CIHS credits through a program affiliated with a major university in your state, other colleges or universities within your state are more likely to accept those credits.

To transfer your CIHS credits, you'll likely need to reach out to the institution that sponsors your CIHS program and request an official transcript. They'll send this directly to the college you're applying to.

Keep in mind that it's always a good idea to check with each specific college you're interested in to understand their policy on accepting CIHS credits. Some may accept all of your credits, some may accept only a few, and others may not accept any. This research can help guide your application process and potentially save you time and money in college. Remember to ask how the credits will be applied as well—either towards general education requirements, requirements for your intended major, or electives.

Good luck with your journey to college!
