* The student's major: Different majors have different credit requirements for graduation. A student needs enough transferable credits to meet the minimum requirements for their chosen major at Storrs.
* Credit acceptance: Not all credits earned at Stamford will automatically transfer to Storrs. UConn Storrs will evaluate the courses taken at Stamford to determine which ones will fulfill requirements for the student's degree program at Storrs. Some courses may be accepted as electives, while others might not transfer at all.
* Transfer policies: UConn has specific transfer policies that outline the process and criteria for accepting credits. These policies can change.
To find out the exact number of credits needed, a prospective transfer student should:
1. Contact the UConn Storrs Registrar's Office: They can provide the most accurate and up-to-date information on transfer policies and credit acceptance.
2. Meet with an academic advisor at UConn Storrs: An advisor in the student's intended major will be able to assess the student's transcript from UConn Stamford and determine which credits will transfer and how many additional credits are needed to graduate.
In short, you can't determine the number of credits needed without a thorough review of your transcript by the appropriate UConn Storrs officials.
