Credits but no degree? You are probably considered a transfer student - and that is fantastic!

Credits but no degree? You are probably considered a transfer student – and that is fantastic!

If you started college in the past, whether it was 5, 10, or even 20+ years ago and you have earned academic credits, you’re likely considered a transfer student when applying to a university. So, if you are seeing articles or posts regarding transfer students, know that you can start again toward earning your degree even though you are not currently enrolled at another institution.

Your past credits could still count.

You may qualify for transfer-specific scholarships and other supports.

Streamlined programs for returning adult learners are likely available.
