I'm interested in the Disney College Program but worried about losing time if the credits don't transfer to my home college. Has anyone successfully transferred these credits? What’s the process like?
It can indeed be possible to transfer credits from the Disney College Program to your home college, but it is largely dependent on your home institution's policies. Every college or university establishes its policy regarding which credits they will accept, be it from an internship, study abroad program, or something like the Disney College Program.
To navigate this process, I would recommend starting by speaking with your academic advisor or a relevant official (e.g. dean of students or registrar) at your college. Ask them about your college's policy for accepting credits from external programs. Then, you should get in touch with a representative from the Disney College Program to learn more about the program's academic component. Inquire about the courses offered, their content, contact hours, and if they have college accreditation.
Before deciding to participate in the Disney College Program, make sure to confirm in writing that your college will accept the credits. Remember that you are responsible for making sure that your credits transfer. I've heard of students encountering issues when they made assumptions about credit transferability, so I would strongly advise you to do your due diligence and communicate with both your college and the Disney College Program to ensure a smooth transfer process.
