Students who wish to transfer credits from another college or university toward a degree at MSCC should request that official transcripts of their academic records be sent to the Admissions and Records Office at MSCC. Transcripts must be evaluated before any transfer courses are accepted for credit.

Since the original source of documents received through a facsimile (FAX) transmission cannot always be accurately determined, the Admissions and Records Office may accept academic transcripts by FAX for conditional admission only, pending the receipt of an official transcript mailed from the sending institution.

MSCC accepts degree-related courses with an earned grade of "C" or above in transfer from other regionally-accredited colleges and universities if the courses are judged to have content and requirements equivalent to those offered by MSCC. Vocational or technical courses may be accepted when directly related to a particular applied science area and will be applicable only toward the appropriate degree or certificate program. Determinations will be made by the Registrar and faculty teaching in the area for which the transfer is requested. Transfer students may be asked to submit course descriptions in addition to their transcripts.

Transcripts from nonaccredited colleges will, in general, be evaluated on the same basis as that employed by the state university of the state in which the transfer college is located.

Courses taken more than six years prior to the date of transfer must have the approval of the Executive Vice President before being accepted for credit.
