Where: Tuesday, May 19th in H111

Time: During all 4 lunches! Just bring your lunch and Ms. C will walk you through the process step by step!

Below is a step by step process on how to transfer your credits.

1. Research the Receiving Institution's Transfer Policies

• Start by identifying the college or university you plan to attend.
• Visit their website and locate their admissions and transfer policies page.
• Understand their guidelines for accepting transfer credits, including any specific requirements or limitations.

• Both Framingham State University and MassBay Community College use Parchment Portal for ordering your transcript. You only need to create your account one time and add the institutions you want to order your transcript.
  

• The MetroWest Early college program offers courses from both MassBay and Framingham State. If you are not sure you have taken FSU or/and MassBay classes, please contact Ms. Uyen Hong at CPCData@framingham.edu.

• Note: if you took both FSU and MassBay courses, you will need to order a transcript separately for each institution.

• Students order official transcripts online for $3.50 each through Parchment, Mass Bay's online authorized transcript provider. Transcripts can be sent electronically or mailed in hard copy to the institution or individual your designate. Tracking capabilities are included in Parchment processing.
• Website link to order a transcript: https://www.parchment.com/u/registration/33867/institution

• Note*: If you are transferring to MassBay, you do not need to have your MassBay credits transferred to MassBay, they will already of those credits with your file. Just make sure to double check!

• Make sure when entering the information of the college you are sending your transcript to has the right information! Some school has multiple admissions offices/registrars.

• Similar to MassBay, students can order official transcripts online for $12.
• Website link to order a transcript: https://www.parchment.com/u/registration/33720/institution
• Check the status of My Transcript Order: Check My Transcript Order Status

• Make sure when entering the information of the college you are sending your transcript to has the right information! Some school has multiple admissions offices/registrars.

3. Your transcript will be evaluated for credit transfer eligibility by the registrar.

• Once admitted, the receiving institution will assess your transfer credits.
• They will compare your courses to their curriculum and determine which credits can be applied to your degree program/Major.

• Schedule a meeting with an academic advisor at the receiving institution to discuss your transfer credits and their applicability to your major.
• This will help you understand how your credits will count towards your degree requirements.
