City College evaluates credits for transfer from nationally or regionally accredited institutions.

 

Credits are accepted for transfer provided:

 

1. The courses are similar in objectives and content to those offered by City College.

 

2. The courses can be applied toward graduation requirements.

 

3. The letter grade (or equivalent) in the course is "C" or better (provided the "C" grade is defined as average or better).

 

Transfer credits for EMS core courses must be a minimum "B" grade.

Credits transferred from institutions operating on quarters of ten to twelve
weeks are accepted as direct equivalent credits. Semester credit hours are multiplied by one and one-half to convert them into quarter credit hours.

 

 

Fractional portions of credit hours are dropped on a course-to-course basis. Students who have earned baccalaureate or higher degrees from accredited institutions may transfer the general education portion of their earned degree as a block of credits to fulfill the general education requirement in all City College degree programs.

 

Credits in skill or technical courses must have been awarded within seven years of the student's acceptance by the College in order to be considered for transfer credit. Credits in the area of general education may be accepted when earned before the seven-year limit. The decision of the Director of Education is final on questions of transfer.

 

No official evaluation of transfer of credit is made until the student has been
accepted by the College and an official transcript from the institution awarding
the credits is received by the Director of Education.
