I'm considering transferring to Providence College and I'm curious about how they handle transfer course equivalencies. Does anyone know if they have a tool or list that shows what courses will transfer?
Providence College does have a tool that helps students get an idea of how their previous coursework might transfer. The Transfer Course Equivalency (TCE) allows prospective transfer students to see if their courses from another institution will transfer over to Providence College.
Just remember that the TCE tool isn't completely exhaustive, and there might be courses that transfer over that aren't listed. If you're still not sure after using the tool, I'd recommend reaching out to the Registrar’s Office for clarifications.
On the other hand, Providence College’s admissions department highly recommends potential transfer applicants to have a preliminary transcript review. This is a meeting with an admissions counselor who will review your transcript and give you a good idea of what will transfer. It's a great way to ensure there are no surprise course rejections once you transfer.
In the end, the most accurate and official evaluation of your transfer credits will be completed only after you're admitted and have confirmed your intent to enroll by submitting your enrollment deposit. You'll receive a Transfer Credit Evaluation document that details which credits have been accepted.
