How to Transfer Universities Without Losing Credits

Credit loss during university transfers usually comes down to course equivalency gaps — confirming exact transfer credit before committing prevents unpleasant surprises after enrollment.

Before You Transfer

• Get a written credit evaluation from the new institution before committing.
• Confirm which specific courses transfer, not just a general credit count.
• Check whether financial aid or scholarships transfer as well.

FAQ

Do all credits usually transfer between universities?

Rarely all of them — some loss is common, which is why a written evaluation before committing matters.

Final Thoughts

Never transfer based on a verbal estimate — get the credit evaluation in writing before making a final decision.
