Earning a degree is an exciting journey and the time that you dedicate to a degree is never wasted. What you learn can never be taken from you, but sometimes life happens, and your educational progress slows, or plans change, or you must move on. Just because where you were isn’t where you currently are doesn’t mean you need to start all over.
Good news! The college credits you’ve accumulated can still have value as they become transfer credits.
Regardless of the reason behind your transfer — financial, location-based, or a change of interest — you owe it to yourself to get credit for your hard work. While transferring credits sounds simple, the process can vary from school to school. In some cases, students may lose credits during the transfer process or not even be aware that transferring credits is an option. This is why it’s imperative to ensure that your hard-earned credits will transfer moving forward. Here’s what you need to know to get the most out of all your education, both the stuff you’ve done and the stuff you’re going to do.
If you’re transferring to a new program or school, transfer credits will be one of the first things your admissions advisor will look at. These credits paint a picture of your past experiences as well as identify what gaps still exist. Your advisor will help you determine what classes you still need to take, tests that need to be completed or other opportunities to ensure you graduate on time and career-ready. Transfer credits set students up for future success by enabling them to keep their academic standing and finish their degrees without having to retake previous courses.
Make your time, energy and monetary investment count by taking these steps for transferring your credits.
