How do Minnesota college credit transfers work?

I'm looking into transferring credits between colleges in Minnesota for my upcoming move. Can anyone share their experience or knowledge on how easily credits transfer within the state?

Sure, happy to help! Generally, the process of transferring credits within Minnesota is pretty straightforward, thanks to initiatives from the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system. They use Transferology, which is a program designed to inform students which credits will transfer between institutions within Minnesota's state college system.

For most cases, they follow a few basic principles:

1. Most colleges and universities in Minnesota have a minimum grade requirement for transfer credits, often a C- or higher.

2. They might not accept in transfer all of your credits earned, depending on the relevancy of the courses to your intended program of study at your new institution.

3. Likewise, developmental and remedial courses typically don't transfer.

Furthermore, I would like to emphasize the importance of reaching out to both your current institution's transfer advisor and the admissions department at the college you are considering transferring to. They can provide more in-depth information tailored specifically to your academic history and goals.

Again, while credits often transfer fairly easily within Minnesota, especially among public institutions, it's still highly recommended you consult with your academic advisor or a transfer specialist before making any decisions. They'll help you plot the best possible path forward and address any concerns you might have. Hope this helps!
