Transferring Credits to Lynchburg College

How easy is it to transfer credits to Lynchburg College? I'm a bit worried about losing some of my hard-earned credits in the process. Any advice on what courses transfer well would be appreciated!

It's great that you're proactive about maintaining your credits as you transfer to Lynchburg College, now known as the University of Lynchburg. Every institution has unique policies on transferring credits, so it's important to be well-versed with them before you make a move.

Firstly, Lynchburg typically accepts credit for courses where you've earned a grade of 'C' or higher. However, this depends on an evaluation done by their registrar's office. The university follows a semester system, so if you're coming from a school using quarters, be aware that your quarter credits will be converted into semester credits, which might affect the total number.

To make the process smoother, ensure you have detailed syllabi for your courses, as Lynchburg uses these to determine how closely courses match their own offerings. Courses that closely match Lynchburg’s offerings are more likely to transfer completely, while those that do not may be accepted as elective credits.

Additionally, work with your current school's Registrar's Office or Academic Advising Office to help you understand how your credits will transfer to different institutions, including Lynchburg. You can also communicate directly with an admissions advisor at Lynchburg. They'll clarify any concerns or uncertainties you may have about the transfer process and can provide further guidance on the particular types of credits and courses that transfer well.

Remember, the earlier you can complete this process, the better. Late transfer credit evaluations can delay your course registration or financial aid disbursement at Lynchburg, so be sure to provide all your transcripts as soon as you can.

Good luck with your transfer!
