“In my case, it was easy to transfer to Elmhurst University because COD has a partnership program with that institution,” Fuentes said. “I created a plan in my second semester at COD. I knew that I wanted to attend Elmhurst University, therefore, I met with admission representatives and asked them what credits they would accept and how many. I loved how Elmhurst University offers an easy transfer pathway and lets you know what courses to take because they will 100% transfer to their institution. I took my general education classes along with the specific areas of knowledge courses that were required to take at their institution. Thankfully, my experience in transferring credits was easy.”
