How do you transfer college credit to Weber State?

I'm interested in transferring some of my college credits to Weber State. Has anyone gone through this process before? What are the key steps I need to be aware of, and is there anything specific to Weber State I should prepare for?

Transfer of college credits is a typical procedure at most institutions and Weber State University is no exception. The process involves several steps but is fairly straightforward.

The first thing you should do is apply as a transfer student to Weber State University. This involves filling out an application, paying a $30 non-refundable application fee, and sending in your transcripts.

Once your application is submitted, you'll need to send your official college transcripts to Weber State University. The school will need transcripts from all colleges attended (not just the most recent one). Transcripts can be sent via mail or electronically, directly from your previous colleges.

Once they receive your transcripts, Weber State will evaluate your credits. They design an evaluation report that outlines how many and which of your credits can be transferred and applied toward your degree program. Note that Weber State generally accepts college-level course credits from regionally accredited institutions, but remedial, vocational, and developmental courses will not transfer.

It might be useful to communicate with an academic advisor who's familiar with the major you want to pursue; they can provide detailed help with understanding how the transferred credits will be applied towards your degree.

Be aware that Weber State requires a minimum of 30 semester credit hours to be completed in residence to graduate with a bachelor’s degree, and at least 20 of the last 30 credit hours should be completed at Weber State.

Lastly, remember that the grades you earned also play a role in the transfer process. You need a minimum grade of C- or higher for your credits to be eligible for transfer. This is a specific criterion for Weber State.

In summary, the credit transfer to Weber State involves applying as a transfer student, sending your transcripts, getting your credits evaluated, understanding how they apply to your degree program, and meeting residency and grade requirements. As with any transfer process, it's important to start early and be proactive so that you're not rushing through things at the last minute. Good luck with your transfer application!
