I've taken some early college credits and I'm interested in attending Southeast Missouri State University (SEMO). Does anyone know if SEMO has a list or guide on how these credits will transfer?
Southeast Missouri State University does indeed have a system for evaluating how college credits taken by high school students will transfer over. These credits are typically reviewed by the Admissions department and the Registrar's office.
To ensure that your credits are compatible, you'd have to submit your official transcripts from the institution where you earned these early college credits. After the university receives your transcripts, they will conduct a course-by-course analysis to determine equivalency.
SEMO also has an online resource called the "Transfer Equivalency Guide" which provides a directory of how certain credits from other schools will be recognized at SEMO. Please note that whilst this tool is insightful, it may not include all colleges or every course from each institution. Also, applicability of transfer credit towards a major or degree will always be at the discretion of the academic department.
I strongly suggest reaching out to Admissions for the most accurate information because it can change over time. If you're admitted and decide to attend, you'll receive a degree audit that shows exactly which credits meet your degree requirements.
Remember to send your transcripts as soon as possible so that your credits can be reviewed and applied to your degree at SEMO. This could ultimately make a big difference in your course load and time to graduation at SEMO. Best of luck in your college journey!
