r/SNHU

My Capstone for Human Services started Monday.

I honestly can’t believe I am going to be a college graduate soon!!!!! I’m hoping I can make it to graduation, I’m in MA and travel isn’t the issue, I have a son with Down Syndrome and I am a solo parent. I’d have to stay overnight, going up the day prior to ensure I got there on time so I’m not sure I will have someone to stay with my son. I’d love to have him come since me and him are so close and I did this for him and myself but I don’t think he would last through the ceremony. I don’t want to miss it considering this is something I thought I would never be able to do but I guess if I have to attend virtually then it just is what it is.

Thanks for letting me vent and share.

Woo Hoo 🎉

Back home and working at a museum for the summer; trying to figure ways to boost their YT channel.

I know it's low effort, but could you please offer any advice?

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I just graduated from SNHU with a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and ordered my official transcript.

My unofficial transcript had a section that explicitly said "Degree Awarded," but my official transcript only lists:

• Most Recent Program: Bachelor of Science
• Major: Criminal Justice
• Concentration: Police Administration and Operations

It doesn't actually say "Degree Awarded" or "Degree Conferred" anywhere.

Is this how SNHU's official transcripts normally look after graduation, or should I contact the registrar?

Thanks!

I always tell people to look into CPL (Credit for Prior Learning) options before enrolling at SNHU. It saved me over $9,000 in tuition and books.

Just to be clear, I’m only sharing my personal experience from 2025, when I first enrolled at SNHU. I did have many college credits already, and I figured out exactly what I needed to hit the 90-credit transfer cap before starting.

I completed my B.S. in Business Administration with a concentration in Project Management in March. I took four courses in less than a month, and they all transferred to SNHU. I paid about $74 for a one month subscription to an online education platform that SNHU partners with. That saved me over $4,000 in tuition and books.

Always confirm with the registrar first, though, because your program, catalog year, and remaining requirements can affect what actually applies.

The courses I used transferred from the SNHU partner were:

• ACC 201 Financial Accounting
• ACC 202 Managerial Accounting
• ECO 201 Microeconomics
• FIN 320 Principles of Finance

Coursera certifications can help too. My Google Project Management Professional certificate covered four out of the five courses in my Project Management concentration:

• QSO 340
• QSO 355
• QSO 420
• QSO 435

My Google Cybersecurity certification also counted toward IT 2ELE.

I also had certifications like Google UX Design, Microsoft UX Design, Google Data Analytics, and Google Digital Marketing and E-Commerce evaluated for credit. By that point, though, I had already hit the 90-credit transfer cap, so most of those ended up being extra credits that I couldn’t use.

For example, SNHU evaluated them for courses like:

• CS 319
• IT 355
• DAT 205
• DAT 325
• DAT 375
• MKT 225
• MKT 315

Also, don’t pay for transcript delivery through Parchment. I sent all of these courses and certifications to SNHU for free through Credly using the transcript option.

Definitely look into these options before spending thousands of dollars and eight weeks on classes that you may be able to satisfy through transfer credit or Credit for Prior Learning instead.

One note about the screenshots: they don’t show exactly what applied during my B.S. degree because I enrolled in a certificate program through SNHU afterward. I can no longer view the Academic Evaluation from my completed B.S., so the screenshots are just examples of how SNHU evaluated the credits/certifications.

After 4 long years I’ve finally did it!! :))

I did it!! I graduated 4 years ago with my associates degree and had no idea what I wanted to do with my life anymore. Plans changed. Dreams changed. So I sat on my associates for 4 years. I worked as a special education paraprofessional and fell in love with education all over again! This past year my head teacher left, leaving me to teach the class the remainder of the year! I enrolled into SNHU to finish my degree in general studies so that I could apply for a special Master’s program in my home state, which will allow me to teach while earning my special education degree!! I busted my butt for 7 months to finish so that I could start the new school year as a teacher and to start in my Master’s program on time!! THANK YOU SNHU!!

Glory to God for helping me through this! I’m gonna be completely honest and say there should’ve been times where I failed but God made a way. Not to mention that my gpa has gone up tremendously since high school. I know gpa means nothing but I have narcolepsy which affects me heavily so seeing a 3.6 compared to what I had in high school and community college just gives me another reason to praise God. I pray nothing but blessings and guidance for those that have completed this part of their journey and those that are still on it. God bless you all and may peace be with you! 🙏🏼💗

I am so proud of myself for this achievement!! This journey has been filled with lots of chaos, uncertainty, sleepless nights, mental breakdowns, anxiety, crazy life events amongst more but finally I achieved my goal in successfully finishing my final semester! I look forward to getting my degree in a few weeks. For anyone wondering my degree is Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design! I still am unsure whether to start at freelancing or a design agency only time will tell...... Anyways Thank you so much SNHU for the opportunities and guidances you all have bestowed upon me! Also congratulations to all my fellow grads here!! 💛💙
