<p>My son is taking summer classes at Kent State University in Ohio. He needs to know what will transfer to Allegheny College in Pa. Wasn’t there a national college to college that isn’t a business operation that charges. We’d like to work with that as opposed to going back and forth with the colleges. Thanks</p>
<p>There is <a href=“http://www.transfer.org%5B/url%5D”>http://www.transfer.org</a> , but Allegheny does not participate in it.</p>
<p>What you need to do is check if Allegheny’s web site includes course articulation listings; if not, you need to find out how it evaluates transferred courses.</p>
<p>I don’t know of a national site. I’m not sure I would trust it completely anyway. IMO, just to be safe, you should contact Allegheny College to find out what they accept as transfer from Kent State.</p>
<p>Not sure how much “back and forth” will be required. You should be able to just give the course numbers to Allegheny College, and they should be able to tell you if they transfer. It should be fairly simple.</p>
<p>I don’t think course numbers will do it. You will probably need to provide the syllabus of each class to show what was covered.</p>
<p>Unless there is an articulation agreement between the institutions (common at public schools in the same state), you should always assume that the target school will evaluate this on a case by case basis. If the transferable credit is the main point of the summer classes, do not write the check until you have the plan cleared with Allegheny.</p>
<p>Yes it will be on a case by case basis in lieu of an articulation agreement.
The syllabus will be a great help, as even the same course # can vary between profs at the same school.</p>
<p>If the student is matriculated at his home school, wants to take a course that it doesn’t offer, but remain matriculated and not have to reapply- he will need to get permission from his school before he registers to do so.
If he needs to apply as a matriculated student to the second school in order to take the course, he will need to reapply to the first school.</p>
<p>I don’t know why you would prefer to work with a third party as described even if that existed ( to my knowledge it does not), because ultimately the degree will be awarded by Allegheny, the third party would have no interest in whether * any * credit was transferred.</p>
<p>When my S took summer courses at another college, he had to get the approval of his regular university first. There was a form they required that he fill out where he had to list the course he was going to take, what requirement in the curriculum it would fulfill, and the reason he was taking it away from the university. He had to include a copy of the course description from the catalog of the “summer” college. Then he had to get approvals/signatures of several people including the chair and dean and then submit it to the registrar for final approval. It was quite a process.</p>
<p>You need to work through Allegheny to find out what their particular process is.</p>
<p>It looks like Allegheny has a similar process.</p>
