Transferring credits from Norwalk CC to UConn

Does anyone know how the credit transfer process works from Norwalk Community College to UConn? I'm planning to make the move and want to make sure I don't lose any credits in the process.

Sure, happy to guide you through the process!

First, you should know that UConn has a tool called the Transfer Course Equivalencies Database, which can give you a good idea of how Norwalk Community College (NCC) credits will transfer to UConn.

Here's a simple four-step process:

1. First, figure out which of your NCC classes correspond to UConn classes. You can do this by searching the Transfer Course Equivalencies Database by subject or by course.

2. List your NCC courses and the corresponding UConn courses. This can help you understand which of your credits are likely to transfer directly.

3. Note that not all courses will show up in the equivalency database, particularly if they're very specific or not common. If a course doesn't show up, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't transfer, but you might need to check with an admissions counselor to be sure.

4. Once you have an idea of how your NCC credits will transfer based on the database, the next step is to submit an admission application to UConn. As part of the admission process, you will need to send your official NCC transcripts to UConn. Once UConn receives your application and transcripts, their Office of Transfer Admissions will evaluate your credits and provide you with an official credit evaluation.

This official credit evaluation is your most accurate source of information regarding credit transfer. It's worth mentioning that just because a course can transfer, doesn't mean it will necessarily apply to your specific degree requirements at UConn.

Furthermore, keep in mind that transfer policies can change over time, so always cross-confirm with the university.
