The wait is over\u2014
\nyour results are posted online.<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll find a comprehensive summary of the results in the MyBU Applicant Portal<\/a>, including the courses you\u2019ll receive credit for and how many credits will be awarded for each.<\/p>\n

<\/div>

<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

How many credits will you receive?<\/h2>\n

Your transfer credits will be transferred into BU on a 1:1 ratio, this means that although most BU courses are 4 credits, the semester credit hours that your previous institution gives will be the credit hours that you will transfer into BU.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
4<\/span>Number of credits per course at BU. If you’re transferring from a university with a different number of credits per course, please contact the Registrar at credeval@bu.edu<\/a> to learn how your credits will transfer. Credit for international curricula may vary; please contact BU International Admissions at intadmis@bu.edu<\/a> to learn how your credits will transfer.<\/div>\n
\n

68<\/span>Maximum amount of credits BU accepts from a two-year college.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

68<\/span>Maximum amount of credits BU accepts from a four-year institution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>

<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what your credit award does not do:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • It does not determine your class standing. After you are admitted, your class year will be determined by the BU school or college in which you enroll.<\/li>\n
  • It does not affect your grade point average (GPA). Once you enroll, you\u2019ll start at BU with a new undergraduate GPA.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    <\/div>

    <\/p>\n

    What if you don\u2019t get the credits you expected?<\/h2>\n

    If some of your credits don\u2019t transfer and you fall short of the class standing you anticipated, it\u2019s likely that you can still graduate within a reasonable time frame. Many students take summer courses to stay on track for their target graduation date.<\/p>\n
