College Admission and Registration TRANSFER CREDIT FOR NURSING COURSES Admission into the nursing program for a transfer student is based upon availability. Students requesting transfer credit for a nursing course from another college are required to submit a copy of the course outline and syllabus for each successfully completed nursing course to the ADN department head. Transfer credit for any NUR course is at the discretion of the department head of ADN and ADN faculty, and may only be considered for a course in which a student has earned a “C” or better. Transfer credit for any non‐NUR course required for the program will only be considered with a grade of “B” or higher. Students will not be allowed to transfer into RCC’s nursing program after completion of the third semester in another nursing program. Once a student is granted transfer credit into RCC’s Associate Degree Nursing program, acceptance is contingent upon submitted required documents noted in Phase III of the admission process.

TRANSFER ADMISSIONS PROCESS Students who began their Cosmetic Arts education at RCC are given priority for admission over applicants who apply for admission with advanced standing via transfer credit. To give students appropriate credit for prior learning, students must: • Submit a letter of intent to enroll in the program.

Proficiency Examination Students enrolled at CCC&TI who are qualified to accelerate their studies because of their demonstrated abilities may receive proficiency credit by examination for some of their curriculum courses. The proficiency examination process is used for a student desiring credit for prior learning. Students may not use this examination to repeat a course, nor may the student repeat the examination. The student wishing to receive credit must petition the dean under whom the course is offered. If the dean deems the course suitable for proficiency credit, the student may receive permission to take the examination developed by the dean and appropriate instructors. For those students in their last semester prior to fulfilling the qualifications for graduation, application for proficiency credit must be made at least 20 calendar days prior to the end of the semester. The test must be taken within the next 15 calendar days. Appeals for exception may be made to the vice president of instruction. The dean will decide the appropriate score demonstrating competence in the course and, in all courses, the final score must equal a “C,” or better.

College and University Transfer Credit Credit is granted for course work completed at regionally accredited colleges and universities and that apply to the student's academic program at HCC. Generally, there is no time expiration on college credit, but some subjects may not be accepted depending on how long ago they were completed. Credit for courses accepted from other institutions satisfy HCC's graduation requirements. The course grades, however, are not calculated in the grade point average at HCC. For students transferring from any University of Maryland system institution, all applicable general education coursework with a grade of "D" or above will be accepted in transfer. The only exception to this is for ENG-101 (or its equivalencies), which if taken Fall, 2017 or after, requires a grade of "C" or better. For program requirements, grades of "D" will be accepted only if the grade point average for the block of courses is 2.0 or higher. HCC will convert courses taken at institutions that operate on the quarter system to semester hours. Quarter hours are multiplied by 2/3 to equal semester hours. Students may transfer up to 75 percent of their degree or certificate requirements. All transfer students working for a degree or certificate must take at least 25 percent of their credits at HCC.HCC follows the transfer guidelines as established in COMAR, which pertains to all MD public institutions. While not required to apply these guidelines to private or out-of-state institutions, HCC generally also applies the same guidelines.

The North Carolina Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) The CAA addresses the admission of community college graduates to UNC institutions and the transfer of credits between institutions within the North Carolina Community College System and institutions within The University of North Carolina. Universities cannot place requirements on students transferring under the CAA that are not required of their native students. Students not completing the Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degrees: A North Carolina community college student who satisfactorily completes, with a grade of “C” or better, courses identified In the Universal General Education Transfer Component will receive credit applied toward the university’s lower-division general education course requirements, subject to the following distribution limit: maximum of 6 hours in English Composition, 9 hours in Humanities/Fine Arts/Communication, 9 hours in Social/Behavioral Sciences, 8 hours In Mathematics, and 8 hours in the Natural Sciences. A North Carolina community college student who satisfactorily completes a transfer course that is not designated as a Universal General Education Transfer Component course will receive transfer credit for the course.

To request articulated credit (credit for prior learning), students submit an official high school transcript (including CTE post-assessment scores) and any required industry credential documentation to the RCC Registrar/Office of Enrollment Management.

Credit by Examination Credit by Examination may be allowed for a given course if a regularly enrolled student can demonstrate the required level of proficiency (“C” or better) as a result of previous academic or work experience. No credit by examination can be allowed for courses that have been previously audited. This credit will be based on a departmental examination at the discretion of and under the direction of the Department Chair in which the course is offered. The exam must be completed by the 10% point of the course. Credit hours will count toward graduation; they will not be computed in grade point average as grades and grade points will not be recorded. Applications for Credit by Examination must be processed in the Office of Admissions and Records.

Credit for Prior Learning Credit for Prior Learning allows students to earn curriculum credit for their previous non-curriculum academic experiences and training. For more information, students should refer to the Credit for Prior Learning website at www.waynecc.edu/cpl.

Credit for Prior Learning Students may be awarded credits for nontraditional coursework, as outlined in the sections below. Duplicate credit cannot be awarded for equivalent courses already completed. A Maximum of 50% of the degree requirements may be awarded via any of the non-traditional credit methods described below. For associate degrees, this means a total of 30 credits maximum may be awarded for non-traditional credit.

Credits for Prior Learning/Credit by Validation Students may be awarded up to 15 credits for work and life experience as validated by HCC via Portfolios, Advanced Standing and/or Institutional (or Challenge) examinations. These credits cannot be used to fulfill the required minimum credits in residence for graduation, and may not be honored by other institutions. Examples of this are listed below.

However, some credits may be transferred to select colleges and universities. To be eligible for the transfer of credits under the AE to the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Articulation Agreement, community college graduates must obtain a grade of “C” or better in each course and an overall GPA of at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale.
