How do transfer credits work at Keene State College?

I'm looking into transferring to Keene State College and I'm curious about how they handle transfer credits. Do they accept most credits, or are there specific classes I should be mindful of? Any advice would be great!

At most colleges, including Keene State College, the process for transferring credits usually follows a consistent procedure. When you apply as a transfer student, you'll need to submit your official transcript from your current college. This transcript will be assessed by Keene State's admissions team to see how many credits can be transferred. The basic guideline is commonly that a course must be fairly similar in content to one offered at the new institution and you must have earned a grade of 'C' or higher.

Keep in mind that even if a class is accepted for transfer credit, it might not necessarily count toward all graduation requirements. For instance, it could count as an elective but not fulfill a specific requirement for your intended major. It would be a good idea to look into the requirements for your intended major at Keene State and see how your current classes might align.

Moreover, remember to check out Keene State's specific policies on transfer credits. Some colleges have a cap on the number of credits that can be transferred, and certain programs may have stricter transfer guidelines.

As for specific classes to be mindful of, generally, core or general education classes and those related to your planned major are most likely to transfer. On the contrary, highly specialized or institution-specific classes may not.

Unfortunately, there isn't a guaranteed answer without knowing the specifics of your situation. I recommend reaching out to Keene State's admissions or registrar’s office for the most accurate information about your circumstances. They may offer resources such as a transfer credit evaluation or a transfer credit tool to help you estimate what will transfer. Good luck with your transfer process!
