Credit Transfer Calculator

Receiving institutions typically transfer credit selectively -- common reasons for rejection include a grade below a C in the original course, remedial or developmental coursework that doesn't carry degree credit anywhere, courses from an unaccredited program, or coursework that doesn't map cleanly onto anything in the new degree's requirements. This is normal and worth confirming in writing via a formal transfer credit evaluation before enrolling, since verbal estimates from admissions staff aren't always accurate.

Yes -- Total Spent adds what you already paid for ALL your previous credits (Credits Earned (Previous) times the old school's per-credit cost) to what you'll pay for the remaining credits at the new school. That's intentional: tuition for lost credits is still money you spent, even though it doesn't count toward your new degree, and Total Spent is meant to reflect your real total investment, not just the credits that carried forward.

It values every accepted credit at the NEW school's per-credit rate -- Credits Accepted times Cost per Credit (New School) -- representing tuition you avoided paying at the new school because those credits already satisfy degree requirements. It's a measure of cost avoided going forward, not a comparison against what you originally paid for those same credits at your old school.

Credits Remaining is purely a credit-hour count -- Degree Required Credits minus Credits Accepted -- with no dollar figure involved at all. Cost per Credit (Old School) only feeds into Total Spent, which reflects what you already paid historically; it has no bearing on how many MORE credits you still need to complete the degree.
