Evaluating and Awarding Transfer Credit

Students may be admitted with advanced standing by transfer from accredited colleges and universities and from previous programs taken at Mayland Community College.

1. The credit will only be considered from an official transcript from the other institution.
2. Only credit from coursework completed at other institutions of higher education which are accredited by organizations recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation will be considered.
3. Courses submitted for transfer credit must be equivalent or determined to be appropriate substitutions for offerings at MCC.
4. Courses taken under the quarter system will be evaluated on a course-by-course basis and may be referred to the Division Dean for approval of transfer and use for graduation.
5. Only grades of “C-” or higher will be considered for transfer credit.
6. Once the transcript is received, the Director of Admissions, Records, and Registration will then perform a course by course comparison using the credit hours and the course content to determine whether or not the courses are equivalent. If there are questions after using the course descriptions, the Director of Admissions, Records, and Registration will consult a faculty member from the area in question. Once it is determined that an equivalency exists, then the transfer credit is awarded and posted to the MCC transcript.
7. The student is notified by letter of any transfer credit awarded.
8. It should be noted that at least one-fourth of the credit required for a degree must be completed at Mayland Community College in order to graduate from MCC. This is verified by the Director of Admissions, Records, and Registration when progress toward program completion is reviewed.
