Transferring in credit?
- Credits are accepted for transfer from regionally accredited schools or colleges with requisite transcript documents. A maximum of 45 credits earned at other institutions may be applied to academic programs. 15 credits must be earned through formal coursework at Middlesex.
- Policy When Prerequisite Courses are Taken at Other Colleges or Universities
- Students registering for a course must meet course prerequisites. Students may use official or unofficial transcripts for verification through advising or our enrollment centers.
- Transfer Credit will be awarded when a grade of "C-" or better is earned for a course
from a regionally accredited college or university. Courses should be comparable to those offered and taught at MCC. All transferred
courses must meet any program and/or prerequisite course grade requirements in order
to be utilized to meet a program and/or prerequisite requirement. Credit is only awarded
when an official transcript is shared with MCC.
- (Note: Acceptability vs. Applicability: Although students may transfer in up to 45 credits, it may be possible that not all 45 credits can be applied to their major/program. Sometimes the transfer course is not applicable to a particular major/program and cannot fulfill degree requirements.)
- Before enrolling in courses at another college, students should obtain approval from the Academic Planning Center to ensure that this coursework is applicable to their degree program at MCC.
