What happens to your credits if you transfer to 4 year college to 2 year college?

Answer 1

I assume you mean from a four year college to a two year college. If so, the two year institution will use as many credits from your coursework as possible and apply those credits to your intended major at the two year college. However, the two year school will have a transfer credit limit. This would amount to approximately 32 credits, provided they fit your major. The other 30 to 32 credits will have to be taken at the two year college. That being said, I have listed below reasons why some credits may not transfer. Some may apply while others may not.

• Courses were taken at a college or university without the appropriate accreditation.
• Course was not passed with the appropriate grade.
• Course was not equivalent to the receiving institution's credit and/or course content requirements.
• Course does not fit into a student's declared major.
• Course may be antiquated and no longer useful in terms of course content (example, computers).
• Course exceeds the transfer credit limit.
