Understanding Regis College Transfer Credits

I'm planning to transfer to Regis College and I'm a bit worried about how my credits will transfer. Can anyone share their experience with how Regis handles transfer credits?

While I can't share personal experiences, I can certainly help clarify how Regis College evaluates transfer credits. First and foremost, it's important to know that Regis College takes a student-centered approach when evaluating transfer credits. Regis generally accepts credits from regionally accredited institutions and courses where you have earned a grade of "C-" or better. Maximum number of transfer credits is 90 semester hours for a bachelor's degree.

Once you've been accepted, your transcript is reviewed course by course by the Registrar’s Office. They typically look at the course level, content, and grade to ensure it lines up with the rigor and requirements at Regis. However, the equivalency of specific courses is determined by the respective academic departments.

Additionally, if you're transferring from a community college, you might be interested to know that Regis has established articulation agreements with several regional community colleges which can facilitate this process and maximize the transferability of your credits.

But remember, every student's circumstance is unique. Therefore, once you apply and send in your transcripts, you'll receive a Credit Evaluation that will detail how each of your courses transfer into Regis. This detailed report can help you plan on what remaining classes you need to take to fulfill your degree requirements.

Last bit of advice, make sure to maintain good contact with both your current school's guidance office and Regis's admissions office throughout this process. They'll help you navigate any complexities and ensure you're getting the most from your previous credits. Good luck!
