* The receiving institution's transfer policies: Each university or college has its own rules about which credits will transfer, how many will be accepted, and what constitutes sufficient credits for a particular degree program. Some institutions may have minimum transfer credit requirements, while others may have maximums.
* The student's intended major: Some majors require more coursework than others, so the number of transferable credits needed to graduate will vary depending on the major.
* The type of credits earned: Not all credits are created equal. Some institutions may not accept credits from certain courses, such as remedial courses or those not directly relevant to the intended major.
To find out how many credits you need to transfer, you must contact the admissions office of the four-year college or university you plan to attend. They can provide specific information about their transfer policies and requirements for your intended major.
