I'm looking to transfer to an online college that will accept most of my previous credits. Does anyone know which schools have flexible transfer credit policies so I don't lose too many credits?
One of the colleges that is known for accepting a high number of transfer credits is Western Governors University (WGU). This college assesses each course you’ve taken to determine its equivalence in their program.
Excelsior College is another institution with a liberal credit transfer policy. They accept credits from accredited institutions and even recognize non-traditional forms of learning such as professional training, military training, and examinations.
Another option to consider is Arizona State University (ASU) Online. ASU Online is known for its generous credit transfer policy, giving you the ability to transfer up to 90 credits toward your degree.
Lastly, University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) also accepts up to 90 transfer credits. UMGC counts previous academic credits, professional and military training, and examination towards your degree.
However, it's important to note that the specific credits accepted, and how they count towards your new program will vary depending on your individual case and the details of the degree program you choose. I strongly recommend reaching out to the admissions offices of these schools to learn more about their transfer credit policies and processes. They can provide the most accurate and personalized guidance for your situation.
