* Credit Acceptance Policy: Each Virginia university has its own credit acceptance policy. They will evaluate your Strayer University transcripts to determine which credits will transfer and how they will apply towards your degree requirements. Some institutions may be more accepting of credits from for-profit schools than others. You'll need to contact the registrar's office or admissions department of the specific four-year university you're interested in attending to find out their policy.
* Type of Credits: The type of courses you took at Strayer will influence transferability. General education credits are typically easier to transfer than specialized major-specific courses.
* Grade Requirements: Most universities have a minimum grade requirement for transferred credits (often a "C" or better).
* Course Equivalency: The university will determine if your Strayer courses align with their course offerings and learning objectives. A course might not transfer even if it seems similar in name or content.
* Program of Study: Your intended major at the four-year university will significantly affect how many credits will transfer. If you're switching majors, even fewer credits might transfer.
In short, while credit transfer is possible, it's not guaranteed. You must contact the admissions or registrar's office of each specific four-year Virginia university you're considering to determine which of your Strayer credits will transfer. Don't rely on assumptions; obtain this information in writing before making any decisions about transferring.
