General Guidelines for Transfer of Creditstransfer_credit
General Guidelines for Transfer of Credits The receiving college or university determines what credits transfer and if they meet requirements for specific degrees. Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) goal areas are determined by the originating Minnesota State institution. Institutions accept credits from courses and programs like those they offer. They look for similarity in course goals, content, and level. Degree programs usually count credits in three categories-general education, major/minor courses, and electives. Not every course that transfers will help students graduate. The key question is, “Will your credits fulfill requirements of the degree or program you choose?” If students change their career goals or majors, they might not be able to complete all degree requirements within the usual number of graduation credits.

A cumulative 2.0 MnTC GPA is required for recognition of a student’s completion of the entire Minnesota Transfer Curriculum. The timeliness of credits applied to career programs shall be considered when evaluating transfer credits. Equivalency/Conversion: The number of transfer credits granted per course shall not exceed the number granted by the originating institution.
