Traditional Credit

The following general principles for transfer of credit will be applied in determining the award of transfer credit:

1. Coursework transferred or accepted for credit toward an undergraduate program must represent collegiate course work relevant to the formal award, with course content and level of instruction resulting in student competencies at least equivalent to those of the students enrolled in Central Alabama Community College undergraduate formal award programs. In assessing and documenting equivalent learning and qualified faculty, the College may use recognized guides which aid in the evaluation for credit. Such guides include those published by the American Council on Education, and the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers.
2. A course completed at duly accredited postsecondary institutions with a passing grade will be accepted for transfer as potentially creditable toward graduation requirements. A transfer grade of “D” will only be accepted when the transfer student’s cumulative grade point average is 2.0 or higher at the time of admission. If the student has a cumulative 2.0 or above, the “D” grade will be accepted the same as for first-time students.
3. Awarding of transfer credit to fulfill graduation requirements will be based on applicability of the credits to the requirements of the degree sought.
4. Credit may be extended based on a comprehensive evaluation of demonstrated and documented competencies and previous formal training.
