If anyone knows about transferring to Davidson College, could you share how many credits I might be able to transfer? I'm worried some of my credits might not count. Any advice would be appreciated!
Davidson College typically reviews transfer credits on a case-by-case basis following admission. As a liberal arts college, Davidson prioritizes courses that align with their wide-ranging, liberal arts curriculum. Generally, they accept credits for courses taken at an accredited institution, passed with a grade of C or better, and align with courses offered at Davidson.
However, specifics can vary. Davidson has some particular limitations you might want to be aware of. They do not typically award credit for professional or technical courses, internships or cooperative education programs, physical education courses, or remedial courses. Also, AP/IB credits that have been used to fulfill requirements at another college or university won't be eligible for transfer credit at Davidson.
Additionally, no more than 16 transfer credits can be counted towards your Davidson degree, keep this in mind when planning your transfer.
Keep in mind that these are general guidelines, and the actual credit evaluation occurs after admission. If you need more precise information or have concerns about specific courses, you might want to reach out to Davidson's registrar's office or admission's office directly for tailored advice.
Also, make sure to have your syllabus or course descriptions handy since you may be asked for them during the credit evaluation process to assess the content and depth of the classes you've taken. This can help ensure you get credit where it's due.
