Credit Transfer from Onondaga Community College

Does anyone know how well credits from Onondaga Community College transfer to other schools? I'm planning to move to a four-year college soon and want to ensure my credits will be recognized.

Generally, public community colleges like Onondaga have articulation agreements with public universities in their state, in Onondaga's case, that would be with SUNY (State University of New York) schools. This means that if you transfer from Onondaga to a SUNY school, like SUNY Albany or Binghamton, most or all of your credits should transfer.

For private or out-of-state schools, the transfer process can be a bit more complicated. It varies from school to school, and sometimes it even varies from department to department within a school. For example, the business school might have different transfer policies than the engineering school.

However, colleges generally want to see that you've taken classes equivalent to their general education requirements and to the prerequisites for your intended major. If you've taken similar classes at Onondaga, those will likely transfer. If you've taken more specialized or unique classes, those might not transfer, and you may need to speak with the academic advisor or transfer admissions team at your target school to discuss your options.

You can also use resources like transferology.com to see how your previous coursework might transfer to other institutions. This website allows you to enter your course history and see equivalent courses at other institutions, including numerous four-year colleges and universities.

Transferring schools can be a complex process, but with a little research and some advanced planning, you can make it work. Good luck!
