I'm planning on transferring from Kellogg Community College to Western Michigan University. How can I find out which of my credits will transfer? Are there any resources or advisors who could help with this process?
Hello! Transferring from one institution to another can be quite a process, but most universities and colleges have mechanisms in place to make this easier. Western Michigan University refers to Transferology as a resource on its website. The tool allows you to evaluate and understand how your credits from Kellogg Community College can transfer.
You simply select "Kellogg Community College" as the institution and then search for the courses you've taken. The tool will show you how each course would transfer into Western Michigan University credits. Keep in mind this is a preliminary tool - final decisions on credit transfers are made by the institutions themselves.
Additionally, it would be beneficial to reach out to the Transfer Center at Western Michigan University. They have advisors who can help students understand their transfer credit evaluations.
Also, don't hesitate to discuss this with an academic advisor at Kellogg Community College. They might also have insight into how your credits will transfer. Remember, it's recommended to keep detailed course syllabi and paperwork from your classes at Kellogg Community College as these can be helpful elements in justifying credit transfer requests if needed.
Lastly, it's always a good idea to initiate these discussions as early as possible. This will ensure a smoother transfer process and allow enough time to resolve any unforeseen challenges.
Best of luck with your academic journey, transferring can be a big step but with careful planning, it can provide great opportunities!
