How does credit transfer work at Kenyon College?

I'm researching how transfer credits are handled at Kenyon College. Does anyone have experience with this process and can share what kinds of credits are likely to be accepted?

Transfer credit policies can vary from school to school, and also depend on the compatibility of the courses you've taken with the ones offered at the college you're transferring to. In the case of Kenyon College, you would need to have an official transcript from the institution where you earned the credits sent to Kenyon College's registrar.

Once received, the registrar, often in consultation with the academic departments, will evaluate each course to determine if it aligns with the rigor and content of courses offered at Kenyon. If they do, you may be awarded transfer credit.

Keep in mind that Kenyon College typically only accepts credits from accredited institutions and the course grade must be a C- or better. Also, be aware that even if your credits are transferred, that does not necessarily mean they will all apply directly to your intended major. Some might count as elective credits instead.

It's also worth noting that Kenyon has a residency requirement, meaning a certain number of credits have to be earned at Kenyon even after transfer credits are taken into account.

Remember to reach out to the Registrar's office at Kenyon for the most accurate and up-to-date information. They may even be able to do a preliminary evaluation of your transcript if you're considering transferring.
