If you would like to have specific courses transferred in, which do not pertain to your major, you must notify the Registrar’s Office by completing the Transcript Re- evaluation/Specific Course Evaluation Request found under the Student Services Home tab in the portal.
Important:
- Once courses have been brought in and transcribed, they cannot be removed and will remain on the permanent record.
- Transfer credits are not calculated into the student’s GPA.
- Due to content being regularly updated for the following courses, non-MCC courses will only be accepted if they have been taken within a specific time limit:
- HDIM 2421, HDIM 2431 and HDIM 2432 - courses need to have been taken within 3 years of the current catalog year.
- INFO 1001 - course needs to have been taken within 5 years of the current catalog year.
- All Information Technology program majors are required to take INFO 1001.
The following criteria must be met for a course to transfer:
- Institution must be regionally accredited by one of the following agencies:
- Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE)
- New England Commission on Higher Education (NECHE)
- The Higher Learning Commission (HLC)
- Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU)
- Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC)
- Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC)
- WASC Senior Colleges and Universities Commission (WSCUC)
- Course content must besimilar to an MCC course;
- Grade of C or better must have been received;

When course credit hours are not equal, students may have to take additional courses to meet MCC degree requirements.
Example: ACCT 120 (6 credits) from the Sunshine College has been equated to MCC’s ACCT 1100/ACCT 1110 (4.5 credits each, total 9 credits) but will be posted as ACCT 1100/ACCT 1110 with 3 credits each to match the original number of credits the student completed (6.0 credits). 3 credit shortage can be covered by extra credits in any other section or by taking an additional course to fulfill overall credit hours requirement for a program.

Request a re-evaluation (
Re-evaluation request form) if you changed to another program of study or wish specific courses to be reviewed.
International Transcript Evaluation

National Association of Credential Evaluation Services. A course-by-course evaluation must be requested, and the official report must be sent directly to the Registrar's Office. International transcripts evaluated by a credential evaluation consultant will be reviewed using MCC's transcript evaluation guidelines/policies.
