<p>What happens if you're trying to transfer and your credits simply don't transfer? Are you rejected?</p>
<p>… In general, a US University will require a student to have a fixed number of credits (or courses) to graduate, in many cases with minimum distribution requirements).</p>
<p>Any credits that are accepted for transfer will count towards meeting these requirements. Those that are not acceptable will not. If your credits can’t transfer because you took them at a non-US institution, you should talk to your college. They may be able to either evaluate your courses on a course-by-course basis, or if a course is not technically acceptable, give you credit based on an exam. In any event, this is a school-by-school issue.</p>
<p>^ I’m not transffering from an international college, I was just wondering. But I was accepted at a college where (from the reviews I read) students have a hard time getting their credits transferred. This is mainly because they have a different core curriculum. What I really wanna know is…if your credits don’t transfer, does that mean you cannot attend or do they allow you to take the courses you’re missing? Thanks for your help though!</p>
<p>Bump!..</p>
<p>If your credits don’t transfer but you are accepted, then you just take more classes at your transfer institution. For example, if the English class you took doesn’t fulfill the writing requirement, you take the writing requirement, even if you fulfilled the writing requirement at your prior institution.</p>
