Understanding the GWU transfer process via College Board

I'm looking into transferring to George Washington University and saw some references to the College Board for transfers. Can anyone explain how the 'transfer via College Board' process works for GWU?

The reference to the 'transfer via College Board' you're seeing is likely regarding the 'Transfer Planner' tool provided by College Board. This tool is designed to help students who are planning to transfer between post-secondary institutions.

The process is straightforward. You use the College Board's 'Transfer Planner' to track the courses you've taken and see how they might apply towards a degree at the new institution you're considering, in this case, George Washington University (GWU).

However, it's important to note that this is only a guideline tool. GWU, as with most colleges, will have its own process for evaluating and accepting transfer credits. Each department in the university reviews the transfer applications for its majors and determines if the credits you've earned can be transferred. Therefore, just because a course is listed in the Transfer Planner tool does not guarantee that it will be accepted as a transfer credit at GWU.

So along with using the planner as a guide, it's also recommended that you reach out directly to the GWU admissions office or the department you're interested in to inquire about their specific transfer credit policies. They can give you the most accurate and up-to-date information relevant to your situation.
