Guide to transferring credits from Spokane Community College

Can anyone provide guidance on how to transfer credits from Spokane Community College to a four-year institution? I'm trying to ensure that my credits will be accepted and counted towards my degree.

Sure, I'd be happy to provide some guidance on transferring credits from Spokane Community College to a four-year institution. The first step is to check if the four-year institution you have in mind has any existing agreements with Spokane Community College. These are often called Articulation Agreements and they outline specifically which credits transfer to their institution and how.

Next, you will want to meet with an academic advisor at both Spokane Community College and the four-year institution. Your advisor at Spokane should be able to help you determine which credits will be most likely to transfer. At the four-year institution, you can find out which courses are required for your intended major and work out how your credits from Spokane might apply.

Also, you'll need to check the transfer policies of the four-year institution you intend to attend. Some universities have an online tool where you can input your credits and see how they transfer.

Keep in mind that each university may have a different transfer process. Some universities might not accept certain credits, especially for classes that are not part of your intended major or are not on the same level of difficulty.

Lastly, you'll need to submit an official transcript from Spokane to your four-year university. You should ask your academic advisor about the process for obtaining and submitting your transcript.

Remember, it's crucial to start conversations early about transferring credits. Make sure you're in continuous communication with your advisors at both institutions and that all parties have the most up-to-date information. This will help ensure a smoother transition when the time comes.
