Transfer Credits
If you have attended other colleges, you may be eligible for transfer credit. Submit an official transcript from each college attended to the Office of the Registrar for evaluation. Try to get these transcripts submitted at least one week prior to registering so that you don’t sign up for a class that you don’t need to take. You may need to provide a course catalog from the college of record to facilitate the evaluation.

A detailed evaluation by a recognized credentials evaluation service is required for all documents submitted from foreign institutions.
