Ensuring Miami Dade College Credits Transfer

I'm planning to transfer from Miami Dade College and want to make sure all my credits will transfer. Is there a way to check ahead of time which credits will successfully transfer to another institution?

Sure thing! There are primarily three ways you can potentially ensure your Miami Dade College credits transfer to another institution:

- Articulation Agreements: These are agreements between institutions detailing which credits are guaranteed to transfer from one school to another. You can often find this information through the registrar's office's website or by reaching out to them directly.

- Transferology: This is a free tool that students can use to account for how their credits will transfer from one institution to another.

- Direct Communication: In some cases, your best bet may be to contact the prospective university's admissions office or the department of the major you're interested in pursuing. If you can provide them with your transcript and let them know what classes you've taken, they should be able to give you guidance on which credits will transfer.

In general, whether a credit transfer can depend on the course content (does it match up with a course at the other school?), the grade you received (typically a C or higher is necessary), and the policies of the institution you're transferring to.

Remember, it's crucial to keep syllabi, course descriptions, and other course-related documents. They can provide valuable information for the receiving institution when they are determining whether they can grant you credit for the work you've done at Miami Dade College.
