Why is the amount of awarded transfer credit not the same for different post-secondary institutions?
Each institution determines the graduation requirements for its own programs and credentials. Each institution also determines what and how much transfer credit coming from sending intuitions will be accepted towards the graduation requirements. Because the content of programs will change between institutions even though there may be a similarity in the topics covered, receiving institutions have the prerogative to determine what they will accept in transfer credit and how much transfer credit they will award.
