Central Carolina Community College Credit by Exam: Credit hours in which a student receives a “CE” is included in attempted and completed hours for the time-based standards of completion rate and maximum time frame. Transfer Credit: All hours transferred and accepted from other institutions are included in the number of hours attempted and completed. In addition, a student’s maximum time to receive financial aid will be reduced by the equivalent transfer of credit hours towards the degree. Attempted credits from all enrollment periods at the college plus all applicable transfer credits are counted; whether the student received financial aid for those terms is of no consequence.

Check with your academic advisor for more information on transfer credits. Enhanced Transfer Partnerships Central Carolina students have a number of transfer options and can transfer credits to in-state public and private colleges and universities as well as out of state institutions. Associate in Applied Science Degree (AAS) Transfer Although the Associate in Applied Science degree is designed for workforce training, many colleges and universities will accept transfer credit from CCCC Associate in Applied Science degree students who wish to pursue a four- year degree. AAS students wanting to transfer are encouraged to meet with a CCCC college transfer advisor and with the appropriate admissions officer at the four-year college to discuss transfer credit. Resident Transfer Credit When a student transfers from one curriculum to another within the college, all courses applicable to the new program for which the student has earned credit will transfer as resident credit depending upon the curriculum guidelines and academic policies in effect at the time of transfer. Transfer Credit from Another Institution CCCC accepts transfer credit from regionally accredited institutions under the following rules: • Higher education institutions (colleges) transfer credits may be accepted only from regionally accredited institutions. • A course grade of “C-” or better is required for all transfer credit. • Some courses may be ineligible for transfer credit based on time limitations as set by specific curriculum programs. Credit will be granted on a course-by-course basis for courses closely paralleling those offered at the college and must meet the credit hours of the CCCC course for which transfer credit is granted. Transferred credit will not be calculated in the grade point average.
