Transfer Credits from Other Colleges

You may be able to transfer credits from another college or university if:

• The school is regionally accredited
• You earned a grade of A, B, C, or Pass (P/S)

How to Transfer Credits

1. Apply and be admitted to TBCC
2. Send your official transcripts to Student Services
3. Complete a Transfer Credit Evaluation Request form

Transfer evaluations are completed in the order they are received.

Important Notes

• Most credits must have been completed within the last 10 years
• Pass (P/S) grades only transfer if they represent a C or better
• Transfer GPA does not count toward your TBCC GPA
• TBCC determines how transfer credits apply to your program

Career Technical Education (CTE) courses may transfer with additional review and approval.

Sending Transcripts

Once TBCC receives your transcripts, they become part of your student record.

• TBCC does not provide copies of transcripts from other schools
• If you need copies, request them from your previous institution

International Transcripts

If you attended school outside the United States:

• Your transcripts must be translated (if needed)
• They must be evaluated course-by-course by an approved service

Use a provider listed by the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES):
www.naces.org

Credit from Non-Accredited Institutions

You may be able to receive credit for training or coursework from non-accredited organizations, such as:

• Hospitals
• Corporations
• Banks
• Training programs

What You’ll Need

• Training records
• Course outlines
• Transcripts (if available)

TBCC faculty will review your materials and determine if credit can be awarded.

Important Limits

• Up to 25% of your program can come from this type of credit
• Only subjects offered at TBCC will be considered
• These credits typically do not apply to an AAOT degree

For more information, contact Student Services.

Credit for Prior Learning

You may also be able to earn credit for prior learning, military experience, or other non-traditional pathways.

See the Credit for Prior Learning section of this catalog for details.
