Transfer Credit
As part of the admissions process, all official transcripts submitted by applicants to the college are evaluated for credit transfer. Credit for courses at a college, university, or other postsecondary institution accredited by a national or regional accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Technical College System of Georgia and whose curriculum is equivalent to or greater than that of CPTC will be considered for award of transfer credit.
Students who have completed all or part of their secondary or postsecondary education outside of the United States are required to have their foreign educational credentials evaluated and approved by an independent evaluation agency.
Collegiate credit awarded by colleges, universities, or other postsecondary institutions not fully accredited nor in candidacy status for accreditation from a regional accrediting association will be considered for transfer credit following the verification of instructor credentials and approval by the Vice President for Academic Affairs or his/her designated authority.
CPTC will honor any academic sanctions imposed on applicants by the last postsecondary institution attended.
Awarding of transfer credit by CPTC does not guarantee that institutions subsequently attended by the student will accept the credit.
The following guidelines apply to the evaluation of transfer credit:
