Preliminary Transfer Credit Review
What is a Preliminary Transfer Credit Review?
A preliminary transfer credit review is an unofficial evaluation of your completed college courses to help you understand how those credits might transfer into a chosen college or program.
It is not an official determination, and the final decision will always be made by the receiving institution’s registrar or academic department.
My goal is to give you a clearer picture up front so you can plan your academic path with greater confidence—saving time, money, and frustration during the transfer process.
How My Review Helps You
When you’re thinking about transferring schools, there are often a lot of unknowns:
- Will my credits transfer?
- Will they count towards my major or only as electives?
- How long will my degree take if I switch schools?
- Will I need to repeat classes?
A preliminary review helps you:
- Understand which courses are likely to transfer
- See how credits may apply to general education or major requirements
- Compare how different colleges might treat your coursework
- Identify potential gaps before speaking to an academic advisor
- Make more informed decisions before applying or enrolling
This review gives you a roadmap, not a final answer—but it often prevents surprises later.
What I Need From You
- Your unofficial transcripts from all colleges attended
- Your intended major/degree path
- The schools you're considering
- (Optional) Course descriptions or syllabi for any specialized classes
The more information you provide, the more accurate the guidance will be.
What You Will Receive
You will get a concise, easy-to-read breakdown that may include:
- Courses likely to transfer
- Courses that may not transfer
- How your credits could apply to general education, electives, or major requirements
- Estimated remaining credits for the degree
- Specific questions to ask an academic advisor or registrar once you apply
This summary helps you feel prepared when meeting with the college’s official staff.
Important Disclaimer
This is an unofficial, advisory-only review.
Final decisions about transfer credits are always made by:
The receiving institution’s registrar
The academic department overseeing your major
Any accrediting bodies that apply to specialized programs
My role is to help you understand your likely options before you start the official transfer process.
This Service is Best for:
- Students transferring between community colleges and universities
- Students returning to college after time away
- Adult learners with credits from several institutions
- Students exploring a change of major
- Anyone confused about how their courses "fit" into a new school
