Credit transfer equivalency from Tallahassee Community College

I'm looking into transferring from Tallahassee Community College to a four-year university. How do I figure out which of my credits will carry over, and are there resources to help me with this?

Each four-year university has its own policies on how they accept transfer credits. The best way to get accurate, up-to-date information is to check directly with the universities that you are interested in.

Look for a "Transfer Students" section on their admissions webpage. Here, they may list their policies, along with a "Transfer Credit Equivalency" database or tool. This tool will let you compare the courses you've taken at Tallahassee Community College with their equivalent courses at the university.

If the university does not provide a database or it's not clear which of your credits will transfer, contact the admissions office. Universities often have advisors specifically for transfer students who can provide guidance on your situation.

Another source for this type of information is your current college. Tallahassee Community College likely has a transfer advisor, who may have information about the transfer success of previous students and which institutions readily accept credits from your current school. They were also likely have resources and advice on how to navigate the transfer process.

Lastly, just note that even if a course transfers, that doesn't mean it will necessarily count towards your major at the new institution. You'll want to closely check the major requirements for any program you're interested in, or speak with an advisor to ensure the credits will fit into your academic plan.

Keep in mind that application deadlines for transfer students might be different they are for first-year students. Make sure to check these deadlines, and meet them, in order to ensure your application is considered. Good luck with your application process!
