Transfer Students

Transfer students are students who have attended an accredited college or university and have earned credit.  Transfer students must follow the same admissions requirements as new students with the addition of meeting with the SCC Transfer Coordinator for the purpose of evaluating previous college transcripts.

Transfer of Credit
Credits for transfer from MnSCU colleges and universities shall follow the MnSCU Undergraduate Transfer Policy. South Central College will review transfer of credit for courses from colleges and universities that are not a part of MnSCU. Credits will be accepted based on comparability and applicability. Course goals, content, and level must be similar. All credits considered for transfer must have been completed with a grade of “C/2.0” or better. The official evaluation will be completed after the student is admitted to SCC.

• Students requesting credit transfers must have an official transcript from all previously attended colleges submitted to the Admissions Office.
• Evaluation of transfer is done upon initial admission to SCC. Any subsequent request for evaluation must be submitted on a Transfer Evaluation form to the Registrar’s Office.
• Students shall provide documentation (course syllabus, course description) from the college or university for the course to be transferred.
• Students may schedule an appointment with the Registrar’s Office, Transfer Specialist.
• Students will receive a copy of the Transfer of Credit Evaluation form and a copy of their revised South Central College transcript.
• Students may appeal the decision of the Transfer Credit Evaluation as outlined in the MnSCU Undergraduate Transfer Policy.

Transfer Appeal Process
If a student is not satisfied with the courses transferred in the outcome of the above Transfer of Credit process, the appeal process is as follows:

1. Meet with the Transfer Coordinator to provide clarification of the transfer. The clarification process involves faculty input and evaluation of the course description. The Transfer Coordinator may require the student to produce a copy of course syllabi, and may do additional research on the course in question. The Transfer Coordinator may or may not transfer additional classes after this meeting. If the student is not satisfied with the end result of this meeting, they may proceed to the next step.
2. A written appeal submitted to the Dean of Students regarding the result of the transfer. The Dean o/f Students will examine what courses have been completed and determine if any further action is necessary.
