I'm considering transferring to Southern University and A&M College. Can anyone share insights on their transfer credit policy? How do they handle courses from community colleges?
Southern University and A&M College generally accepts transfer credits from accredited institutions, and that includes community colleges. However, the acceptance of these credits isn't guaranteed. It's determined based on how closely the courses you've taken align with those offered at Southern University and A&M College.
Additionally, it's also necessary to send your official transcripts from your previous institutions to the university for approval. You may need to provide a course syllabus or a course description for each of the courses you want to transfer, so they can review each course content and learning outcomes.
Moreover, you will need to have earned a grade of "C" or better for a course to be eligible for transfer credit. Just a note, the grades you earned at your previous institution will not affect your GPA at Southern University and A&M. Transfer credits are treated as earned credits, and they fulfill degree requirements, but they do not factor into your institutional GPA.
Remember, each institution has a unique transfer credit policy, and the exact specifics can vary. It might be a good idea to talk with the Transfer Admissions at Southern University and A&M College to get the most accurate and up-to-date information related to your specific situation.
