A Primer On Transfering Online Degree Credits
One of the most common concerns of potential students of online universities is the question of credit transferability to other institutions. Specifically, if any credits will transfer and how those will count toward another degree. The ability of credits to transfer depends on the type of online school you have attended. If you attend a well known online school with wide accreditation, your credits will most likely transfer. However, the smaller scope you go, the more difficult it is to move your credits to a public university, for example.
Schools usually have a form process to help you figure out which credits are able to count toward a new degree at their school. We recommend the student gets in contact with an admissions adviser so they understand which credits count toward graduation and which are able to count towards a specified degree path. The good thing is that most admissions departments are experienced and willing to guide you through the transfer process so your time spent with an online school is not wasted and can be applied elsewhere.
