  • Missouri College Transfer Guide 2016-2017 Missouri College Transfer Guide
    Missouri College Transfer Guide 2016-2017 Missouri College Transfer Guide For many different reasons, community college students choose to transfer to a university to complete a bachelor’s degree. Choosing to start your education by completing a degree at a community college is a smart choice for several different reasons which include: Ability to stay at home (or closer to home) Save money – tuition and fees at a community college are much less than those at a four-year university General education requirements – You have the time to consider where you would like to transfer (and possibly major in) while completing general education courses at a community college Smaller class sizes (compared to a university) As you have probably noticed, there is a lot of value to completing attending a community college before transferring to a university. In 2012, research found that 71 percent of transfer students (from two-year institutions) earned a bachelor degree within four years of transferring. It is recommended students work with their academic advisor to create a transfer plan and identify courses to take before transferring; this can save you time and money! This handbook will help you as you prepare to transfer to a four year college or university.

    Transferability Report Updated 2020 REPORT DISCLAIMER The 1818 program does not verify the accuracy or authenticity of the responses from the survey. The report is meant to be a helpful tool, but is not a guarantee how or if the courses taken will be accepted at another institution. The 1818 Program claims no responsibility and provides no guarantee regarding transferring of credits to another institution. It is the student’s responsibility to declare and communicate with prospective institutions regarding the transferability of SLU credit before enrolling as a full time student. It should be noted that if an institution is not listed on this report, it does not mean the institution does not accept SLU credit, rather we have not had alumni either attend or report back the success of their transfer. HOW TO TRANSFER CREDITS Saint Louis University provides transcripts free of charge if printed. Students may request up to five transcripts per day. To request a transcript: 1. Log into mySLU.slu.edu with your SLUnet ID and password. 2. Click on the “Tools” tab 3. Click on “Banner Self-Service” 4. Click on “Student” 5. Click on “Student Records” 6.
