What are Ithaca College's transfer credit policies?

I'm considering transferring to Ithaca College and am curious about their credit transfer process. How easy is it? Are there specific guidelines or a maximum number of credits I should be aware of?

Ithaca College does have a detailed set of criteria for its credit transfer process. Credit is typically granted for courses that are similar to those offered at Ithaca and that have been completed with a grade of "C-" or better from a regionally accredited institution.

In terms of the maximum number of credits, Ithaca College's policy states that transfer students must complete a minimum of 60 credits at Ithaca to earn an Ithaca degree. This means that if you're aiming for a bachelor's degree which typically requires 120 credits, you can potentially transfer up to 60 credits, subject to evaluation by the college.

Notice, all admitted transfer students will receive an official credit evaluation immediately following their admission decision. The transfer credit evaluation will include an assessment of both general education and major requirements.

Lastly, keep in mind that it's not just about the number of credits; it's also about how those credits apply to Ithaca College's specific degree requirements. That's why it's crucial to work closely with your advisor once you've received your official credit evaluation, to ensure that your transfer credit aligns with the coursework required for your intended degree at Ithaca.
