Transfer Process

Official transcripts from MnSCU institutions are automatically evaluated for Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) credits, as they apply to the learner's program.

All other credit transfer requests must be evaluated by the program advisor and the Transfer Specialist.

• Learners complete the Transfer of Credit form with their program advisor. A copy of the official transcript must be on file or accompany the Transfer of Credit Form:
  • Transfer of Credit Form (36 KB)  or you may use a program specific transfer of credit form available from your program advisor.
    
• The completed Transfer of Credit form is then submitted to the Transfer Specialist.
• The Transfer Specialist evaluates the requested transfer work and forwards the completed form to the Registrar's office.
  
• The Registrar's office inputs the transfer credits into the learners DARS report (Degree Audit Report) and academic record.
• An email notification will be sent to the learner.
  

Additional information:

• The course work to be transferred must be comparable in nature, content, and level to NTC courses and must be appropriate and applicable to the learning experiences required of the declared major.
• Non-MnTC (technical and applied general education) courses accepted in transfer must have a grade of at least "C."
• MnTC courses must have a grade of at least "D" unless program major policy requires a grade of at least "C."
• Pass (P) credits cannot be used to transfer to a technical area.
• Technical credits that have been completed within five years are eligible for transfer
• MnTC and applied general education courses have no time limit.
• Credits that are part of a signed articulation agreement will be accepted for transfer.
• If a learner changes majors from the one initially declared, transfer courses must be re-evaluated for applicability to the new major to ensure that all appropriate credits are applied.
• Appeal of Credit Transfer Decisions: The results of credit transfer evaluations may be appealed using the college’s normal Appeals and Grievance Process. If the learner is not satisfied with the college transfer appeal decision, the learner may submit a request to the MnSCU Senior Vice Chancellor of Academic and Student Affairs for a system level appeal of the college transfer appeal decision.
