Policies

Transfer Credits: Transfer credits are credits earned at another college which are accepted by NCTC. Transfer credits accepted by NCTC and applied to the student’s program requirements shall be counted as credits attempted and completed for calculation of cumulative completion percentage. Transfer credits will be counted when calculating the 150% timeframe if the credits apply towards the student’s current degree, diploma, or certificate. d 3120 TRANSFER OF CREDIT: Transfer of credit to other colleges varies and is determined by the college to which the student is transferring. Northland follows Minnesota State policy 3.21, procedure 3.21.1, and operating instructions 3.21.1.1, 3.21.1.2, and 3.21.1.3 in the transfer of credit.

Once a student has been admitted to NCTC, NCTC evaluates college-level course credits completed, as submitted by the student on an official transcript, determines if they shall be accepted in transfer, and records them into the degree audit reporting system. Once the credits are accepted in transfer, NCTC determines how the course credits will apply to program and graduation requirements. Evaluation considerations of credit transfer are identified in Transfer of Credit Procedure 3120P, in addition to specific information regarding credit transfer from nationally or regionally accredited colleges or universities, non-regionally accredited institutions, and acceptable passing grades in transfer. Students may appeal any decision regarding their transfer of credits. See Transfer of Credit Procedure 3120P, Appeals section for details.
