Transfer Course Expiration
MCC will take course in transfer from U.S. colleges and universities* accredited by the Higher Learning Commission or one of the other regional accrediting bodies. Students must achieve a grade of C or better in transfer courses. The transfer course must have an equivalent course at MCC. Courses without equivalents may transfer in as elective credit. Zero-series courses (those with a course code below 100) do not transfer toward degree credit requirements.
Students/counselors may request a Transfer Credit review if they feel the student has retained the knowledge from an expired course, or the student has been working in a field which requires they utilize skills they obtained in an expired course.
*Certain journeyman and current cosmetology licensing may equate to transfer credit.
To assure that degrees and certificates awarded by MCC accurately represent the recipient's high level of skill and knowledge, the following time limitations apply to transfer courses:
Expire one year after completion at a previous institution. Some courses with pre-nursing certificate programs may have expiration dates specific to the nursing program.
Expire five years after completion at a previous institution. Expired courses may be counted as electives.
