I'm thinking of transferring to John Carroll University and am trying to figure out how my current credits will transfer. Does anyone have experience with their credit transfer equivalency? How smooth was the process for you?
Sure! If you're considering transferring to John Carroll University, I understand that ensuring your credits transfer effectively is vital. However, the premise of credit transfer equivalency would largely depend on the specific courses you've taken and where you took them.
John Carroll University has a Transfer Equivalency System explicitly designed to help students like you. For most colleges, it's as easy as entering your old school and the class, and it will show you the equivalent course at JCU. It's accessible online and can help provide a preliminary evaluation of how your credits may be transferred.
Meeting with a John Carroll admissions counselor can also be incredibly beneficial. They can provide more granularity about which of your credits will transfer, what classes they'll count as equivalents for, and how that will fit into your selected course of study at JCU.
Remember, while the Transfer Equivalency System can provide a preliminary idea of how your credits may transfer, official transfer credit evaluation will not be completed until after you've been admitted and submitted your final official transcript from your current institution. Always consult with an official at the institution to make sure nothing gets lost in translation. Good luck!
