   How do I know which of my previous college credits will transfer?

   The only way to know for certain is to have your prospective college perform an official transfer credit evaluation. However, you can often get a good idea beforehand.

   Here are the main ways to check:

   1. Review the school's transfer credit policy. Most colleges explain:

      • Which types of institutions they accept credits from (such as regionally accredited colleges).
      • Minimum grade requirements (often a C or better, though some programs require higher).
      • Maximum number of transfer credits they'll accept.
      • Whether credits count toward general education, electives, or your major.

   2. Use the college's transfer equivalency database. Many colleges maintain online tools where you can search by your previous institution and course number to see how courses have transferred in the past.

   3. Compare course descriptions. If no database exists, compare the syllabus or catalog description from your previous course with the equivalent course at the new school. Similar content and learning outcomes increase the likelihood of transfer, though the final decision rests with the receiving institution.

   4. Contact the admissions or registrar's office. A transfer admissions counselor can often provide an unofficial estimate before you apply and explain what documentation you'll need.

   5. Request an official credit evaluation. After you apply (or sometimes before), send your official transcripts. The school will review your coursework and tell you:

      • Which credits transfer.
      • How they apply to degree requirements.
      • Which courses, if any, you'll need to retake.

   A few factors that commonly affect transferability include:

   • Accreditation status of your previous institution.
   • Grade earned in each course.
   • Age of the coursework (some technical or science courses have time limits).
   • Whether the course is applicable to your intended major.
   • Residency requirements (many colleges require you to complete a certain number of credits at their institution).

   If you tell me:

   • the college(s) you previously attended,
   • the school you're planning to transfer to,
   • and your intended major,

   I can help you estimate which credits are likely to transfer and point you to the appropriate transfer resources.
