| transfer_credit | Foreign College Transcripts Foreign college transcripts must be translated into English with a comprehensive course-by-course report before the Office of Student Records at Sandhills will evaluate these documents for potential transfer credits. Document-by-document evaluations will not be accepted by Sandhills for transfer credit. Sandhills Community College will consider granting credit for work done at other regionally accredited institutions of higher education. Courses accepted for transfer credit must parallel course offerings at Sandhills Community College as determined by the Director of Student Records, the appropriate Dean, and/ or the appropriate Department Chair/Head. This allows SCC to determine whether to accept transfer credits from that college. Upon review of the approved transfer credits, the Director of Records and Registration enters course information for any transferred classes into Colleague. Transfer credits are indicated by TR in the student record. Courses approved to satisfy the NCCCS Comprehensive Articulation Agreement general education, pre-major or elective course requirement will also be considered for acceptance as transfer credit. Transfer credit may be allowed only for courses in which a student has earned a grade of a “C” or higher. Transfer credit for master’s level coursework is not transferrable. | www.sandhills.edu | ||
| transfer_credit | Special students planning to transfer credits to another institution are encouraged to obtain written permission with specific course information from the institution from which graduation is planned. | www.sandhills.edu | ||
| transfer_credit | 77 College Catalog for credit by examination must obtain permission from the chairperson of the department in which the course is offered. Students who wish to receive credit by examination through CLEP or USAFI should submit such certifications to the Office of Student Records.

Students who transfer in 18 or more hours from an accredited four-year college or university may be eligible for Credit by Examination for ACA-122 and should contact the Coordinator of University Studies. Exceptions to the credit by exam eligibility requirements may be determined after a conference with the Provost. | www.sandhills.edu | ||
