Credit Transfer Policy

Hey CC,

As a prospective transfer student, I had a quick question regarding minimum credit requirements for admissions. I will have completed the bare minimum amount of credits to be eligible to apply as a transfer student to the schools in which I’ll be applying to, which is 12 credits. However, I was wondering if the minimum amount of credits refers to credits that can successfully transfer, or credits that you’ve taken in general. I’m nearly positive at least 3 of my credits will not successfully transfer, which I am fine with, but wanted to know if this means I need to apply as a first-year. Thanks for the help!

Credits that you have taken is what matters for applications.

What the place you decide to attend chooses to do with those credits will be up to them.
