Transfer Credit

Students may receive transfer credit for courses taken at regionally accredited colleges and universities. If students attended a college that was not regionally accredited at the time of attendance, students may be asked to provide additional materials including course syllabi, college catalog course description, and instructors' credential information for the course to be considered for transfer.

For course credit to transfer, a student must have earned a grade of C (2.0 grade points) or higher and the course must have greater than or equal to the number of semester hours required by the similar course at Augusta Technical College.

The Registrar, instructional faculty, and academic deans determine the transferability of courses taken at other postsecondary institutions by considering the educational quality of the learning experience for which students seek transfer credit; the comparability of the nature, content, and level of the learning experiences to the courses offered at Augusta Technical College; and the appropriateness and applicability of the learning experiences to the programs offered at Augusta Technical College.

Augusta Technical College distinguishes between the acceptance of credit and its applicability toward program requirements. Students should review individual program selection and admission requirements to determine if coursework is applicable to the desired program of study and if coursework needs to be completed within a specific timeframe.

Regardless of the amount of transfer, exemption, or prior learning credit granted by the college, students must complete a minimum of 25% of their academic program in residence at Augusta Technical College to be awarded an Associate Degree, Diploma, or Technical Certificate of Credit.
