I'm planning to transfer to Menlo College, and I want to understand how my credits from my current college might transfer. Do they have a specific process or guidelines for evaluating transfer credits?
Menlo College has a flexible credit transfer policy which allows you to transfer credits from previously attended regionally accredited colleges or universities. In general, they evaluate each course individually based on your transcript to see whether it aligns with their course offerings or program requirements.
For a course to be accepted for transfer, it typically needs to be similar in nature and level to what is offered at Menlo College, and you must have earned a grade of 'C-' or better in the course.
However, note that not all credits may apply to your desired major or degree program at Menlo College even though they get transferred. It's important to consult with an academic counselor at Menlo who can help you understand how each credit aligns with your intended program. Also inquire about their policy concerning maximum transferable units as that can impact your academic plan as well.
Moreover, such evaluation takes place after you are admitted. It's a good idea to get a preliminary review of your credits from an academic advisor at Menlo College to get an idea sooner.
Keep in mind, each college has its own unique policy for transfer credits, so it’s vitally important to check directly with Menlo College's admissions or registrar’s office for the most accurate and current information.
