Course Credit Transfer Policy Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College shall evaluate college-level course credits completed by an admitted student, as submitted on an official transcript, to determine if the credits shall be accepted in transfer. Once credits are accepted in transfer, they will be further evaluated for their applicability to the student’s program and graduation requirements. Decisions on the transfer of credit shall involve the following considerations: Educational quality of the learning experience which the student transfers; comparability of the nature, content and level of the learning experiences offered at Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College; and appropriateness and applicability of the learning experience to the programs offered by Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College.

Procedures for Determining Transfer Credits Determining Course Comparability or Equivalency A course may be determined to be equivalent to Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College course if it meets a minimum of 75% comparable course content. Transferring technical, occupational or professional course credits Credits from technical, occupational or professional programs or departments will be accepted in transfer as technical electives. General studies credits of a non-technical nature will be evaluated for equivalency to general studies courses offered by Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College. Students with courses from non- regionally accredited institutions must demonstrate learning outcomes by choosing from Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College’s Credit by Examination policy or by completing the petition process. Students wishing to transfer to a four-year institution should consult that institution’s policies regarding transfer of credits from non-regionally accredited institutions.

Credit Limit Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College does not limit the total number of credits a student may earn through transfer; however, the applicability of transfer credit to program and graduation requirements shall be consistent with Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College graduation requirements.
