How do I transfer classes to Augsburg College?

I'm considering transferring some of my classes to Augsburg College and wondering about the process. What are the steps I need to take, and is there anything specific I should be aware of? Thanks in advance for the guidance!

Transferring credits to Augsburg College, or any institution, typically follows a similar process. First, it's important to note that transferring credits is done on a case-by-case basis and individual schools will have specific requirements. Here's what you might need to do:

1. Transcripts: You'll need to obtain official transcripts from the school where you earned the credits. Be aware that you might need to pay a fee for these transcripts, and you'll have to request them to be sent directly to Augsburg College.

2. Course Evaluations: After Augsburg receives your transcripts, they will evaluate your courses to determine if they align with the curriculum at Augsburg and therefore eligible for transfer. They'll look at factors like course content, the level of the course, and the grades you received.

3. Credit Transfer: If your courses are deemed transferable, Augsburg College will then apply these credits towards the requirements of your chosen degree program. Remember, not all credits earned may be applicable to your specific degree.

4. Course Selection: After your credits have been transferred, you'll focus on selecting the remainder of your courses at Augsburg College to complete your degree. A counselor or academic advisor can assist with this to ensure you're meeting all requirements.

Keep in mind, Augsburg College has its specific policies for transfer students, including minimum GPA requirements and the number of credits that must be completed there to earn a degree.

It is always a good idea to reach directly out to Augsburg College's Registrar's office or Transfer Student Services, as they can give you the most accurate and detailed information about transferring credits to their institution. They can also guide you through the process and help with any challenges along the way.
