What is a Title I School
Transferring Colleges

Starting a college education at one school and then transferring to another is common for students today.
For example, many students will start their college education at a two-year school, taking general education courses or earning an associate's degree, before transferring to a four-year college for a bachelor's degree or higher.
It is also common for a student to start a program at one school and then take a break for a few years to work or handle family issues before continuing toward their degree at a different school.
To find out if the credits your child has already earned at one school are transferable to another school, the courses taken should:
- satisfy graduation requirements for the major, program or degree at the new school
- meet accreditation requirements for the new school
- satisfy general education requirements expected of all students at the new school
Each school will have different requirements, depending on the program your child is entering, so meet with a counselor or advisor to find out what your child will need to do to make sure that classes already taken will count toward his final academic goals.
