I'm trying to figure out what site lets you check how your transfer credits will work between colleges. I'm currently at a community college and planning a transfer, so having this info would be really helpful!
Most colleges offer resources on their websites that display how credits from other institutions could possibly transfer over. These tools often display how specific classes at one school align with certain requirements at the prospective university.
However, transfer equivalency is usually quite specific to each university, and there's no central online database that houses all this information. It's typically best to simply visit the website of the college you're interested in transferring to, and see if they have a 'transfer credit' or 'course equivalency' tool or database.
Furthermore, contacting an admissions representative of the prospective college could also be valuable. They may be able to provide some guidance on how certain credits will potentially transfer, or point you to resources or individuals who can give more specific advice.
Keep in mind that this kind of tool provides a general guideline, as the registrar's office at the college you're planning on transferring to is ultimately responsible for credit evaluation and approval. So, the tool's estimates are subject to change and should be used simply as a resource in your initial research process.
Lastly, remember that merely because a course transfers, it doesn't necessarily mean it'll fulfill specific requirements for your intended major. This is another question to ask an academic advisor or counselor at the prospective college. They can not only provide an unofficial transfer credit evaluation, but also offer comprehensive academic advice tailored to your specific circumstance.
