Transfer Credits Policy

Undergraduate students who have completed course work at MCC or students planning to attend MCC may request an evaluation for transfer credit from the Registrar. Transfer work can be used to satisfy a department major or minor requirement. The transfer work must first be officially accepted into MCC through the Registrar.

  1. The course work was completed at an accredited institution recognized by the Department of Education.

  2. The course description and content are similar to MCC’s description and content as verified by the course syllabus of sending institution.

  3. The final grade posted for each potential transfer course is a ‘C’ grade or higher. A “C-“ grade or lower will not transfer. Pass grades, or “P,” will not transfer.

  4. The course work does not duplicate, overlap, or regress previous work.

  5. The university or college offering the courses allows these courses to be used for credit towards its own undergraduate degree. Institutional credits are not transferable.

  6. The student may transfer up to 40 credits toward an associate degree and up to 80 credits toward a bachelor’s degree at MCC as long as transfer courses meet academic requirements of MCC and fulfill degree requirements.

  7. Veterans will be allowed transfer credit for courses taken in the armed services when the courses are appropriate to the desired degree. The standard for granting of credit will be the “Guide to the Evaluation of Education Experiences in the Armed Services,” published by the American Council on Education.
