Transfer Credit

Students may receive transfer credit for courses taken at regionally accredited colleges and universities. If students attended a college that was not regionally accredited at the time of attendance, students may be asked to provide additional materials including course syllabi, college catalog course description, and instructors' credential information for the course to be considered for transfer.

The Registrar, instructional faculty, and academic deans determine the transferability of courses taken at other postsecondary institutions by considering the educational quality of the learning experience for which students seek transfer credit; the comparability of the nature, content, and level of the learning experiences to the courses offered at Augusta Technical College; and the appropriateness and applicability of the learning experiences to the programs offered at Augusta Technical College.

Augusta Technical College distinguishes between the acceptance of credit and its applicability toward program requirements. Students should review individual program selection and admission requirements to determine if coursework is applicable to the desired program of study and if coursework needs to be completed within a specific timeframe.

Students may receive credit for courses taken at regionally accredited postsecondary institutions if the following requirements are met:

1. An official transcript is on file in the Registrar’s Office from all postsecondary institutions attended.

2. Courses must have greater than or equal to the number of semester hours required by the similar course at Augusta Technical College.

3. The course content taken is comparable to the nature, content, and level of course(s) at Augusta Technical College.

4. A grade of “C” or higher has been earned for each course to be transferred.

5. Departmental recommendation for approval is granted when specified by the Registrar.

6. A student must complete in residence at least 25 percent of the credit hours required for graduation.

Applicants wishing to transfer to the College must complete the admission procedures. Regular admission status is based upon the credential (degree, diploma, or Technical Certificate of Credit) being sought by the student.
