OT Question about credits transferring to U of M.
Gimme a min, I have to think of a good Brady Hoke pun first...
the number of transferred credits is proportional to the distance crawled to Ann Arbor?
....or the number of claps....
If they are transferable, I can tell you they will literally count the class hours to determine the credits given, and they will round Down. they did this to me when I took a summer courses at UCLA btw my frosh and soph years. AT UCLA they were 7 credits, and here they were only 3.
Wait, your wife is starting a grad. program in the fall and intends to transfer into another grad program at UM?
I would think that is a sticky situation. Maybe a couple cognate classes or pre-reqs to the UM grad program transfer, but my guess would be that the core courses of any UM grad program are expected to be taken at UM.
...she doesn’t have to sit out a year before she is eligible. I assume we are talking about 2019 - can she play quarterback?
can she play OT...what's her pad level like?
Tampax at six o'clock.
In 2004, I transferred in from community college and all my credits transferred. As long as they are basic classes and not too specialized, I think they will transfer.
So you're saying she's doing undergrad at Ball State, and expects undergrad credits to transfer into a graduate program?
That’s how I read it too. Da fuq?
I needed 1 credit in my 2nd semester, senior year, to graduate from UofM because in the first semester that year they decided the 11 credits I transferred from MSU* were worth 6 credits at UofM instead of the 7 credits they gave me my freshman year at UofM (trimester going to semester explains the 11->7.) Three years after the fact, they reevaluated MSU's syllabus and found it lacking some core concept and docked me a credit. So I took a 1 credit intro to geology class to graduate and 3 400-level EECS courses. I was able to apply all 9 of those credits towards my Masters degree because I didn't use them to meet the undergraduate requirements. It may be possible to do the same with the Ball State credits as long as they are upper level and not used to meet the BSU undergrad requirements.
I would recommend trying to get things in writing and talk to a counselor, but even then they can change their mind 3 years later and there's not much you can do about it.
*I took 3 courses at MSU while I was a high school senior. Getting an A+ in 300 level Differential Equations at MSU while I was still in high school left me less than impressed with MSU's student body.

My read on it is that he doesn't understand how grad school works... you don't transfer any credits, you just apply again like you did in undergrad. It's essentially exactly the same thing as starting college for the first time, just instead of high school transcripts and SATs you send college transcripts and the GRE
There are transfer sites that tell you what classes transfer and their credit equivalency if they do. When I transfered from CC to University, I was able to create my schedule specifically knowing which classes would carry over, and which did not, so I was able to plan accordingly with the school I wanted to transfer into. Try one of these

I was wondering if such online resources existed. Thanks! My youngster is planning to transfer to U of M after two years at Gannon University.... This is helpful.
Call the school at Michigan that your wife wants to eventually get a masters from and ask them about admission requirements and transfer credits.
I’d be surprised if they took any/ more than very few transfer credits for a Masters program.
This is the best advice. An advisor in the program your wife wants to transfer into will be able to answer. The liklihood is that if any credits are transferrable they would be electives, limited to a course or two, and even then would most likely be dependent on someone at Michigan going over the syllabus and course description to make sure they are comparable to something Michigan offers.
Not grad school, but I transferred in for undergrad and lost a ton of Credits. I'm guessing it will be the same. Grad school seems even more specific so I'm willing to bet it won't be good news.
If I understand correctly, she is getting her undergrad degree at Ball State, and then applying to Michigan for a grad program. Is that right? If that’s the case, then she wouldn’t technically be transferring any credits, so as long as she gets accepted into the grad program, she is fine.
As an aside, I took physics 1 and 2 at WMU in the summer one year and had no problem transferring the credits to UofM.
Transfer is only important when you haven't completed a degree (e.g., a Bachelor's) at one school and want to take your credits from one school (e.g., Washtenaw Community College) to another (e.g., U of M) so you don't have to re-take classes.
My advice: talk to a counselor at BOTH schools, write down everything they tell you, and then if you can, talk to a couple other counselors to make sure what they told you is correct. There are horror stories of people who were told something and then when they went to put it into practice, credit were lost, etc.
Good luck!
my Michigan advisor wrote a letter recommending that I place out of my entire third year russian requirement (8 credits)
Not one transferred.
Make money if you place out. It’s all about the dolla.
First off, awesome! Second, don't trust anyone with your credits. Sometimes even the overarching school and departments get their sh*t mixed up. If she is taking graduate courses as undergrad, personally I wouldn't bother unless it is an elective she wants to pursue. I took grad classes as an undergrad and got my masters in the same field...didnt transfer credits...probably cause I'm lazy or just sucked at the class.
Anyways...my opinion is, reference my statement above, that minimal credit hrs transfer as a grad student and I am talking about 6. So unless she wants to wade through the BS with credit transfers it may not be that beneficial.
Cross reference all details and requirements with the grad school and department she is applying to.
If she's doing undergrad at Ball State and then trying to pursue a master's at U-M, she wouldn't need to "transfer" her credits... She'd have a degree and transcript which she'd use to apply to the grad school
