I'm looking at transferring to George Fox University after community college. Can anyone share experiences on how transfer credits are evaluated? I want to make sure my credits will count towards my degree requirements.
Absolutely, I can shed some light on that. George Fox University is generally well-regarded for their approach to transfer students. They evaluate courses from regionally accredited institutions and accept transfer credits for courses where you earned a grade of C- or higher. However, a grade of C or higher is required for courses in your major or minor.
The specifics of how credits apply towards your degree requirements can vary by program. For instance, certain classes might count towards elective credits rather than foundational or major-specific courses. It might be helpful for you to reach out to an admissions advisor at George Fox University. They could give you a more specific understanding of how your credits would apply to your intended degree program.
Another handy tool George Fox offers is the Transfer Equivalency Tool. This is an online resource which lets you search for classes you've taken at other institutions and see how they might transfer to George Fox.
Remember that even if your credits transfer, you must still meet George Fox University's residency requirements. This means you will have to complete a certain number of credits directly through George Fox.
I hope this helps, and best of luck with your transfer process!
