Aaron,
Transfer of credits is such a hot topic. Students are responsible to find out what will transfer. Never assume a course or program will automatically be accepted. They need to investigate.
For the returning student, acknowledgment of their prior learning from other schools is of high importance. Transferring credits from school to school allow students to have academic portability. Although I agree it is important for students to investigate the school they are considering, I believe it is equally important for admission representatives to know what their school's policy is concerning transfer credits.
Maneka,
Yes, it is the student's responsibility to check the institution to which they wish to transfer credits.
As an Admissions Representative its important to inform students about transferring credits into another institution. Each institution has its own transfer rules. If the student plans on transferring to another institution after graduating from yours, advise the student to check out the transferability of that course.
Angelica,
It is up to the receiving institution to determine transferability of credits and the responsibility of the student to find out. They can never assume that all or any credits will transfer.
