Thank you for choosing PCC to complete your degree.  We look forward to helping you with your transfer questions. 

1.  Our best advice is to start early.  If you apply no later than six weeks before the term starts,  your credits  will most likely be evaluated and entered into PCC's student record system before the registration period for the term is over. Apply six weeks before the posted open registration date, if you want your credits evaluated in time to register early.

2. Order a transcript from every post-secondary college or university you attended.  See below for specific information about accreditation and how it affects your transfer credit.

3. Have an unofficial copy of your transcripts with you when you visit the advisor.  It will help them register you for appropriate classes without duplicating what you have already had.

4. Look at your Passport account often to watch for your transcript evaluations and call us right away if:

   A.)  You ordered a transcript more than two weeks ago and it is not showing as received.

   B.)  You question the results of any evaluation. (You should take this question to an advisor who will complete an Advisor Action Request form with you to be submitted to the Registrar)

TIPS ON ORDERING TRANSCRIPTS

To order a transcript from your sending institution(s), contact them or visit their website to learn their procedure.  Most state colleges and universities will send an electronic transcript which you can request through Passport, by using the transcript request feature. Some institutions charge a transcript fee. A form is available below to request a transcript from your previous institutions. Our mailing address for paper transcript requests is:

TIPS ON NON-REGIONALLY ACCREDITED INSTITUTIONS

We will not accept credits from schools that are not under a nationally approved accreditation body.  The CHEA or US DOE maintains lists of approved accrediting bodies.  An easy way to know if your institution is accredited by an approved national accrediting body is that approved ones can distribute federal financial aid.  Schools with non-approved accrediting bodies cannot distribute federal financial aid.

If your institution has an approved accrediting body, then thoroughly complete the Credit Evaluation Worksheet. We will not process submitted worksheets that are not 100% complete.  You must be a matriculated student before we will process a worksheet.  A matriculated student has attended at least one term past the add/drop day of the term and has a transcripted record from PCC. You must make this request before the Add/Drop day of your graduating term for credit transfer consideration.

Contact your transferring institution's registrar for assistance with answers to the worksheet questions.  Each student must complete the worksheet.  One student's credit from a sending institution may be accepted but another's not for the same course, depending on the factors on the worksheet for the section of the course you took.
