Transferring Summer Classes to Calvin College

I'm planning to take summer classes at a community college and want to make sure they'll transfer to Calvin College. Does anyone have experience with this, or know what the process is like? Are there specific requirements?

For your case, you should definitely reach out to the Calvin College Registrar's Office. They will be able to give you the most accurate and up-to-date information on transferring credits from community colleges or other institutions. It's also important to check whether the specific courses you're planning to take at the community college have equivalent courses at Calvin College.

In most cases, for successful transfer, the credits should be from an accredited institution and the grade received should generally be a C or higher. However, each college has its own transfer credit policies, so there might be certain exceptions.

You will also have to submit official transcripts from your community college to Calvin after completing the course. This is an important step, without which your credits will not be recognized.

It's a good idea to get everything in writing. Have the community college and Calvin College approve that the classes will indeed transfer before you start. This might involve talking to academic advisers at both schools and potentially getting approval forms filled out. Taking these steps can give you some peace of mind and prevent possible frustrations later.

It's always better to double-check and make sure that your hard work over the summer pays off in terms of credit transfer!
