I'm currently attending Bronx Community College and looking to transfer to Mercy College. Does anyone know how the transfer credit process works between these two schools? Just trying to see what credits might carry over.
Yes, it is generally possible to transfer credits from Bronx Community College (CUNY BCC) to Mercy College. The process typically starts with meeting with an advisor at Mercy College to discuss your transfer goals. They can help guide you in understanding which of your courses from BCC are likely to transfer over.
Mercy College has a Transfer Equivalencies Database that you can typically consult to get a sense of which classes you've taken at Bronx CC will be accepted for credit at Mercy. If your courses do not appear in the database, it does not necessarily mean they will not transfer, just that they haven't been evaluated yet.
After you're accepted to Mercy and submit your final transcript from BCC, the Registrar at Mercy would also evaluate your completed coursework to figure out which credits will transfer over.
Keep in mind that some courses may transfer as electives or may fulfill general education requirements, while others may apply directly to your intended major. Typically, colleges require that you earn a C grade or better in a course for it to be eligible for transfer.
Again, it's usually a good idea to consult directly with an admissions advisor or transfer counselor at Mercy College to get the most accurate information regarding your unique circumstances. And remember that the fact that a course transfers does not necessarily mean that it will count toward your specific degree requirements.
