If you know early on what school and what department you will ultimately transfer to, this plan will spell out exactly what classes you need to take at your current school to transfer smoothly. Basic academic classes are more likely to transfer. Technical classes designed for certification in a field, remedial classes, and higher level, more specialized classes may not. Work with counselors in
both schools to make sure you're taking the classes you need.
Warning: A class can transfer yet not count toward your degree. A university may require a speech class for graduation, for example, but not the interpersonal communications class you took instead of speech, even though it may accept the credits of the IP class.
Warning: Some institutions will only accept up to 60 credits from another school.
