We need to receive your transcripts as soon as possible; otherwise, you may have to re-take courses you took at your former institution or satisfy PCC assessment requirements. If we have not received and evaluated your transfer credits before the end of the Add Period for the term, we will not consider your previous credits during advisement, and you will have to follow PCC’s curriculum.

We evaluate your transfer credits according to the following guidelines:

• You must be admitted as a “Classified” student (one with a declared course of study) before we can evaluate your transfer credit. We evaluate transfer credits based on the requirements of your course of study.
• You must submit official transcripts, mailed from your previous institutions, within your first term of enrollment at PCC. We will not accept hand carried transcripts. Beginning in the Fall 2006, courses you complete at another CCCS institution will be automatically posted on the transcript of your home institution unless you request an exclusion during the semester following completion of the course(s).
• We accept transfer credits from regionally accredited institutions recommended by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers and as specified by legislated and CCCS articulation agreements.
• We accept a maximum of 80% of the semester credits required for a degree or certificate.
• You must earn at least 15 graded semester credits at PCC in your program area to receive a certificate or degree. They cannot include transfer credits or credits earned for prior learning.
• Your instructional department will evaluate your transfer credits to determine whether they meet department requirements for graduation.
• The department chair or dean of your program area will determine whether your transfer credits fall within acceptable time limits.
• We will accept credits you’ve earned in any Colorado state system community college, or any local district community/junior college which is in compliance with the State Board Policy on degree standards, as meeting degree or certificate requirements in comparable or equivalent programs at PCC.
• The registrar will determine if PCC can accept credits from qualified degree granting institutions. In most cases, these will be 100 and 200 level courses. If you wish to transfer 300 or 400 level credits to PCC, your department chair and/or dean will decide how PCC will apply those credits.
• If you are eligible for Veterans educational benefits, you must submit official transcripts from all colleges and universities previously attended or your benefits could be interrupted.
• If we accept your transfer credits, we will post them to your academic record (transcript) after you enroll at PCC.
• The evaluation of previous college work must be completed prior to filing an Application for Graduation. You may appeal a transfer evaluation by contacting the Admissions & Records Office within fifteen (15) days of receiving your transcript evaluation.
• Transfer credits will be awarded as governed by the Colorado Commission of Higher Education and State Board policies and System President Procedures.
