Can I transfer credits from Kirkwood Community College to the University of Iowa?

I'm considering taking some foreign language courses at Kirkwood Community College and wondering if they'll transfer to the University of Iowa. Has anyone had experience with this?

While I can't speak to anyone's personal experience, transferring credits from a community college to a four-year institution like the University of Iowa is usually possible, depending on the course and the grade you received.

The University of Iowa, like most four-year colleges, generally accept credits from accredited community colleges if the course content is comparable to the course offered at their institution and if you've achieved a grade of 'C' or higher.

Moreover, the University of Iowa maintains a Transfer Course Equivalency Guide on their website, which can assist you in determining how classes taken at other institutions will transfer and can be used to meet degree requirements. In this guide, you can search for and select Kirkwood Community College to see a list of course equivalencies.

However, the best thing to do would be to contact the Registrar's office at the University of Iowa or speak to an academic advisor. They could provide the most accurate information and help you throughout the whole process, ensuring that you're not taking any classes at Kirkwood that won't count towards your degree at the University of Iowa.
