I'm currently attending a community college and considering transferring to Longwood University. Does anyone know how the credit transfer process works? Any experiences with what credits transferred smoothly?
Yes, you can definitely transfer from a community college to Longwood University. As in many colleges, transfer students at Longwood are a significant part of the student population.
However, it's important to note that transfer credit is evaluated individually and decisions are based on course content. Longwood typically accepts credits for courses where you've earned a grade of 'C' or better from a regionally accredited institution.
To streamline the process, check the Transfer Guide provided by Longwood University. It allows you to see how course credits will transfer. It's also highly advisable to work closely with an academic advisor both at your community college and at Longwood to ensure a smooth transition.
Remember the final decision regarding credit transfer rests with Longwood's Registrar’s Office. It's best to submit official transcripts from every college you've attended to maximize your chances of transferring as many credits as possible.
As you plan your transfer, remember to also consider additional factors such as tuition, the availability of your intended major, and campus culture. Good luck with your transfer process!
