Understanding How Transfer of Credits Works 1. The receiving college or university decides which credits transfer and whether those credits meet its degree requirements. The accreditation of both your sending and your receiving institution can affect whether the credits you earn will transfer. 2. Institutions accept credits from courses and programs that are similar to those they offer. They look for similarity in course goals, content, and level. 3. Not everything that transfers will help you graduate. Baccalaureate degree programs usually count credits in three categories: general education; major/minor courses and prerequisites; and electives.
