Transfer Credit Process at Iona College

I'm thinking about moving to Iona College from my current school. Can someone explain how they handle transfer credits there? It's important for me to know if my courses will count.

Sure! The process of transferring credits to Iona College is fairly straightforward. They have a dedicated transfer evaluation team that will review your transcript from your past institution(s).

In general, Iona College accepts transfer courses that are similar in content and rigor to the courses they offer, and where you've earned a grade of 'C' or better. The maximum number of credits that Iona College typically accepts is 90.

These transfer credits will be counted toward your degree requirements at Iona. However, it's crucial to note that only the credits will transfer, not the grades. So, while the transferred credits may bring you closer to graduation, they won't affect your GPA at Iona College.

It's also good to keep in mind that transferring courses within your major can be trickier because the curriculum requirements for your major need to align closely with the courses you've already taken. It's best to get in touch directly with the academic advisors at Iona College or the specific department for your intended major to clarify this aspect.

At the end of the day, the most accurate source would be the registrar's office at Iona College itself. So, I highly recommend getting in touch with them to ask specific questions. You might want to get a course syllabus for any classes you want to transfer, as they may need it for the review process.

Remember, each college has its own policies about what credits they will or won't accept, and how those credits will be applied to your degree requirements, so it's important to make sure you're getting accurate and current information directly from the source.
