Remington College to University: Transfer process?

I am currently at Remington College and considering transferring to a university. Has anyone gone through this process before? I'm concerned about which credits will transfer successfully and how to best ensure a smooth transition.

The first step in transferring from Remington College to a university is to reach out to the admissions or registrar's office at your desired university to inquire about transfer agreements and policies. Every university has different rules around how they accept transfer credits and which credits from other institutions they accept.

A general rule is that most universities accept credits from accredited institutions, and Remington College is nationally accredited. Do note, however, that regional accreditation is generally seen as more prestigious and nationally accredited institutions' credits may not always transfer smoothly to regionally accredited universities.

In some instances, universities may only accept general education credits and not those from degree-specific or vocational courses. It can also help to ask your prospective university if they have any existing articulation agreements with Remington College, which are basically pre-established paths for transferring credits between institutions.

Next, you should also get a copy of your transcript from Remington College and compare it with the curriculum at your desired university. Are there courses you've taken that match the content and level of courses on the new program?

Once you have this information, make an appointment with an academic advisor at your prospective university. They can help you evaluate how your credits will apply towards their degree programs.

Remember, the transfer process can be complex and often requires careful planning. Start the conversation early and stay organized to help ensure a smooth transition. Best of luck!
