<p>So, when being admitted into another school as a transfer, there's a max number of credits they accept, since transfers need to take at least half of their classes at that school. But can you take, for example, over 64 credits, but not have some of them accepted, or are you just not allowed to transfer to that school at all if you have over the max amount?</p>
<p>Would this be better under Transfers?</p>
<p>Each college and university sets its own policy about transfer admissions. Some will not admit students who have more than a certain number of credits, period. However most will.</p>
<p>Normally when a limit is listed in the 60 semester hour (or 90 quarter hour) range, that means that even if you enroll with more than 60 credits earned, you will only be allowed to use up to 60 toward the total number required for graduation. If you have a total of 64, and all of those courses are acceptable for transfer, you should be able to consult with your advisor and the registrar at the new college so that you can work out which combination of classes is the most advantageous for you to use as transfer credits. Even if a specific class isn’t used for transfer credit, you might be able to use it as a pre-requisite for a higher-level course, or you might be able to use it to have a requirement waived so that you have room in your schedule for a course that is more important for your new academic program.</p>
<p>If you have any formal interviews with the colleges/universities that you are looking at, or if you meet with the advisors for the department that you would transfer into, take information about your classes so far so that you can talk with them about your options.</p>
<p>Wishing you all the best!</p>
