How will my credits transfer?

The best way for prospective transfer students to see how their college credits may transfer to Berry is to use Transferology. This tool allows prospective students to insert their college coursework and see a course-by-course evaluation of credits. It is not comprehensive nor finalized as our Registrar team works hard to continually update the content each year.

Given the time required to complete a credit evaluation, our Registrar team will start a formal credit evaluation after admission and once a student has committed to Berry. In the meantime, this is the best resource available!

Please feel free to contact Tessa Nedvin at tnedvin@berry.edu if you have any questions pertaining to transferring to Berry.
