Transfer in Courses to Get Credit

If you have completed coursework at another college, you must submit official transcripts to the Office of the Registrar at the City College where you plan to enroll. Official transcripts are required to receive transfer credit, and we strongly encourage requesting that they be sent electronically whenever possible.

Once your transcript is received, the college will evaluate your coursework. Successfully completed courses with grades of C- or higher from institutions accredited organizations approved in the Academic and Student Policy Manual may transfer. (Please see the transfer credit policy). Transfer credits do not affect your CCC grade point average (GPA) but will appear on your student record and can help you meet degree or certificate requirements more quickly.

Transcript evaluations are processed for admitted, currently enrolled, and former students. After each evaluation, approved credits are posted to your record. These credits ease registration, improve course selection accuracy, and support advising. Transcripts may take 6-8 weeks to complete an official evaluation.

For questions or assistance, please contact the Registrar’s Office at your college. We also encourage you to meet with your Academic Advisor to learn how transfer credits apply to your program and to receive an unofficial evaluation while awaiting an official evaluation.
