Transfer Credits
Â鶹´«Ã½ is continuously working to make transfer easier. Many students attend Â鶹´«Ã½ with the intention of transferring to a four year college or university and many students who are just starting at Â鶹´«Ã½ have attended other colleges and universities.
Accepted Credits
Â鶹´«Ã½ accepts undergraduate courses from colleges or universities which are recognized by the United States Department of Education from regionally accredited organizations and nationally recognized agencies except for remedial/developmental/preparatory*, graduate, or continuing education. (* Some remedial/developmental/preparatory courses may meet pre-requisite requirements.)
Credit granted by another institution for credit by exams or credit granted for life experience will not be evaluated as transfer credit.
Â鶹´«Ã½ does not evaluate transfer courses that are withdrawn or in progress.
