Does John Jay College accept all transfer credits?

For anyone who transferred to John Jay College, did all of your previous credits transfer? I'm worried about losing credits from my current school and having to retake classes. Any advice on ensuring a smooth credit transfer?

John Jay College, like many institutions, evaluates transfer credits on a course-by-course basis. Although it's common for most classes to transfer, especially from accredited institutions, there's no guarantee that every single credit you have will be accepted. Some classes might not align with their curriculum or degree requirements, which may limit their transferability.

A solid strategy here is to reach out to John Jay College's admissions department or the registrar's office to discuss your situation. They can offer advice and maybe even give you a preliminary review of your transcripts. This may give you some insight into which credits might transfer.

Remember, maintaining good grades also aids in transferring credits, as some colleges require a certain minimum grade for the credit to be accepted. Also, keep in mind, that even if a course is transferred, it may count as an elective and not satisfy a specific requirement, which may affect your course plan.

Here's a helpful tip: keep your course syllabi, as they can provide important details about the course content that could aid in getting the credits transferred. And, remember, early communication and comprehensive preparation will greatly aid in ensuring a smooth transfer of your credits.
