Has anyone transferred credits from Perimeter College to UGA?

I'm at Perimeter College right now, looking to transfer to the University of Georgia. Does anyone have experience with transferring credits between these two? Wondering what the process is like and any tips to ensure it's smooth.

Absolutely, transferring credits from Perimeter College to the University of Georgia (UGA) is a common pathway for many students. Most of your credits should be able to transfer as long as they're not part of a remedial or technical course, which is generally not transferable to UGA.

The process generally involves your grades and coursework being evaluated by UGA after you have sent an official transcript from Perimeter College. The University of Georgia will then decide the equivalent courses at UGA for the coursework you completed at Perimeter College.

It's advisable to get this process started as early as possible to avoid any delays in your transfer process. Moreover, familiarize yourself with UGA's Transfer Equivalency tool that allows you to see how courses from other institutions transfer to UGA.

One of the biggest pieces of advice for ensuring a smooth transition is to keep syllabi and coursework from your classes at Perimeter. UGA may need these to decide whether a particular course can be transferred.

Also, I strongly suggest making an appointment with a guidance counselor or academic advisor at both Perimeter College and UGA. They can guide you on specific courses to take that will transfer well and how different courses will apply to your intended major at UGA.

Remember to stay on top of deadlines for transferring as well. Missing deadlines can delay your plans for a semester or more, so make sure to know when all application materials need to be in.

Hope this helps and best of luck with your transfer!
