No NUR transfer courses will be accepted from member institutions of the North Carolina Community College System, and from other ACEN-accredited institutions of higher education.

Transfer Credit Cleveland Community College permits admission with transfer credit for students from accredited colleges and universities. Students must have official (original and sealed) college transcripts sent to Cleveland Community College for evaluation. Courses accepted for transfer credit must closely parallel those for which credit is sought at the College. For a course to be considered for transfer, the student must have earned a “C” or higher. Transfer credit is not awarded for course work taken on a non-credit basis. Grades and quality points do not transfer. Once an official transcript is received, students should allow 1-3 business days for processing. Students are encouraged to contact their Academic Advisor for proper course placement. For more information on the acceptance of transfer credit, please refer to Policy 5.1.2 - Acceptance of Transfer Students/Credit or email transcripts@clevelandcc.edu.
