| transfer_credit | FULL PDF 2026-27 CATALOG AND STUDENT HANDBOOK TRANSFER OF CREDIT TO MWCC Mount Wachusett Community College’s transfer policy is consistent with the Massachusetts Community College Transfer Principles (https://d2s3vqybomum0f.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/community-college-transfer-principles.pdf). For students not seeking a degree, a review of transcripts will be conducted for the purpose of determining if prior course week meets prerequisites for courses the student would like to enroll in, but courses will not be transferred in. Students seeking to transfer credits to MWCC should submit an official transcript from each institution for which they are is seeking the transfer of credits after being applying and being admitted to a degree or certificate program at MWCC. Where an equivalent course exists, credit will be granted for that course with a non-weighted GPA grade being awarded (e.g. Where no equivalent course exists, but it is determined that the course is eligible for transfer based on college-level work and the applicability toward the student’s declared degree or certificate program, the course will be awarded transfer credit in the field of study most closely aligned to the course. Non-graded course work will not be transferred (e.g. The credits from these courses will be transferred into a degree program where applicable. Course age limits identified in a program of study or through the admissions process will be observed when determining transfer credits. The maximum number of allowable transfer credits is 50% of the credits required for degree completion in the enrolled program (45 credits with permission of the department chair, the division dean, and Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs). Determinations of transfer credit will be made within a reasonable period of time after the receipt of the official transcript and all required additional documentation. The college may, at its discretion, form articulation agreements with non-regionally accredited institutions or organizations that will dictate the transfer of credit for students transferring between them. Any student who feels as though an error or omission has occurred in the evaluation of their transfer credit may appeal the situation to the transfer ombudsperson whose responsibility is to ensure institutional compliance with transfer policies and procedures. REVERSE TRANSFER Students who have transferred to another regionally accredited institution may be eligible to receive an associate degree through reverse transfer by transferring credits to MWCC. | 2026-2027 | catalog.mwcc.edu | |

| Transfer of Credit to MWCC | transfer_credit | Transfer of Credit to MWCC Mount Wachusett Community College’s transfer policy is consistent with the Massachusetts Community College Transfer Principles . MWCC transfers courses that apply to the students program of study. For students not seeking a degree, a review of transcripts will be conducted for the purpose of determining if prior course week meets prerequisites for courses the student would like to enroll in, but courses will not be transferred in. Students seeking to transfer credits to MWCC should submit an official transcript from each institution for which they are is seeking the transfer of credits after being applying and being admitted to a degree or certificate program at MWCC. Upon receipt of the transcript(s), the college will verify the accreditation of the institution(s); and if comparable regional accreditation exists, the college will review the courses to determine comparability with MWCC courses. Where an equivalent course exists, credit will be granted for that course with a non-weighted GPA grade being awarded (e.g. TA, TB, TC, etc.). Where no equivalent course exists, but it is determined that the course is eligible for transfer based on college-level work and the applicability toward the student’s declared degree or certificate program, the course will be awarded transfer credit in the field of study most closely aligned to the course. The minimum course grade required for credits to transfer to MWCC is C-. Certain programs of study may have higher grade point average requirements for designated courses in their program. Students should consult their degree requirements for specific program differences. Non-graded course work will not be transferred (e.g. pass/fail courses) with the exception of competency-based courses from an accredited institution where mastery has been documented. An exception will be made if the transcript indicates that a “Passing” grade equates to a letter grade of C- or better (and the student has earned a grade of C- or better); and such grades will be recorded as “TP” (Transfer Pass). The credits from these courses will be transferred into a degree program where applicable. Course age limits identified in a program of study or through the admissions process will be observed when determining transfer credits. If a student changes their program of study, the college will re-evaluate transcripts to provide current information. The maximum number of allowable transfer credits is 50% of the credits required for degree completion in the enrolled program (45 credits with permission of the department chair, the division dean, and Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs). Determinations of transfer credit will be made within a reasonable period of time after the receipt of the official transcript and all required additional documentation. Notice to the student will be given at the time of the completed evaluation. Students must receive a grade for a course undertaken at MWCC to qualify to receive an official transcript from MWCC. Credits earned at non-accredited institutions or institutions with accreditation different from MWCC will be reviewed by academic affairs on a case-by-case basis. For credits earned from international institutions, the college will follow the guidelines established by National Association of Credential Evaluation Services ( NACES ). Students requesting evaluation of transcripts from institutions outside the U.S. must obtain a "course by course" evaluation from a credential evaluation service that is a current member of NACES. Evaluation of such transcripts might also require additional information from the source institution's academic catalog. The college may, at its discretion, form articulation agreements with non-regionally accredited institutions or organizations that will dictate the transfer of credit for students transferring between them. Any student who feels as though an error or omission has occurred in the evaluation of their transfer credit may appeal the situation to the transfer ombudsperson whose responsibility is to ensure institutional compliance with transfer policies and procedures. The transfer ombudsperson is the Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs, who can be reached at academicaffairs@mwcc.mass.edu . Reverse Transfer Students who have transferred to another regionally accredited institution may be eligible to receive an associate degree through reverse transfer by transferring credits to MWCC. To qualify, former students must have been matriculated into an MWCC degree program, have at least 30 earned credits at MWCC, have a GPA of at least a 2.0, have not previously earned an associate degree, and be in good financial standing. These guidelines apply to students who have transferred to any regionally accredited institution.
