Transfer of Credit

Transfer into NCUS TEC

NCUS TEC recognizes that students may have completed coursework at other institutions. Transfer credit requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and must meet the institution’s transfer credit requirements.

General Guidelines

To be considered for transfer credit, applicants must meet the following criteria:

• Credits must have been earned at an institution accredited by an agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and/or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).
• Coursework completed at foreign institutions must be evaluated by a recognized credential evaluation service to determine equivalency. The applicant is responsible for all evaluation costs.
• Official transcripts must be sent directly to NCUS TEC from the institution where the coursework was completed.
• Course descriptions, catalogs, or syllabi from the time the coursework was completed must be provided.
• A minimum grade of B (3.0 GPA equivalent) must have been earned in each course.
• Courses graded on a pass/fail basis are not eligible for transfer.
• Students may be required to successfully complete a written and/or practical assessment related to the course content.
• Coursework completed more than three years prior to enrollment is not eligible for transfer.
• Transfer credit evaluations must be completed prior to enrollment.
• Submission of all required documentation is the responsibility of the student.

Note: The Campus Director makes the final determination regarding the acceptance of transfer credits.
