I’m planning to transfer from my current university to a Day 1 CPT school and was wondering about credit transfers.

:small_blue_diamond: How many credits can usually be transferred to a Day 1 CPT university?
:small_blue_diamond: Does transferring credits help shorten the program duration?
:small_blue_diamond: Are there any risks of visa issues if fewer credits are accepted and program length changes?
:small_blue_diamond: Which Day 1 CPT schools are flexible with accepting previous master’s or undergrad credits?

Would love to hear from students who’ve gone through this process. Any tips or lessons learned?

1.Master’s degree programs typically allow up to 6 credits to be transferred.
2. Once the credits are transferred, you can skip those courses, which will shorten the duration of the program.
3. There shouldn’t be any negative impact.
4. As long as the courses are equivalent, the credits can usually be transferred, and universities generally approve them.
