How does New College of Florida handle transfer credits?

I'm looking to transfer to New College of Florida and I'm curious about how they evaluate transfer credits. If anyone has insights into the process, please share your experiences with credit transfer!

New College of Florida adopts an evaluative approach towards the transfer of credits from other institutions. Rather than looking at the credits alone, they assess the actual coursework to see how it aligns with their academic framework. On this basis, coursework completed at other regionally accredited colleges or universities is generally accepted, provided the grade obtained is at least a C.

To get credit, you'd need to submit official transcripts of all collegiate work done at previous institutions when you apply. Once you're admitted and decide to enroll, you'll go through a process called "academic audit" where your transcripts will be reviewed by academic advisors. This process determines what credits can be transferred and how they fit into your academic plan at New College.

However, do keep in mind that the maximum number of semester hours that one can transfer to New College is 60 (equivalent to two years of full-time study), and these can only be applied to the completion of the general degree requirements.

The most precise and up-to-date information will be obtained by contacting the Admissions Office at New College directly so that you can ask specific questions about your coursework and the potential for its transferability.
