NMCC has several program specific transfer agreements with senior colleges
and universities. Students interested in transferring to an institution
to pursue a baccalaureate degree should discuss their goals with their
academic advisor to assure appropriate planning of their academic coursework
at NMCC and to maximize the amount of transfer credit. For the transfer
of courses not covered by a current transfer agreement, the college or
university to which the student is transferring has the final decision
on acceptance of transfer credit.
Transfer credit from accredited institutions may be awarded for grades
of C or better in courses comparable to those offered at NMCC. Requests
for transfer credit must be submitted to the dean of students, who determines
the acceptability of outside courses. Courses accepted for transfer credit
are not included as part of any student's grade-point average at NMCC.
The college's policy is to accept no more than six credit hours from
another institution while the student is currently enrolled in a prescribed
two-year program at NMCC
- A student wishing to attend another institution while enrolled at
NMCC must make a written request.
- Requests must be approved by the advisor, department chairperson and
the dean of students.
- The written approval and final grades are to be submitted to be recorded
on the permanent transcript as transfer credit.
English Area Course Transfer: Any student transferring into a diploma
program will be allowed to use up to six transfer credits in English in
order to satisfy the NMCC English requirement. Transfer students entering
our associate degree programs will be allowed up to six credits of transfer
in English as long as the course content is directly related (Public Speaking
for Speech, etc.).
- Knowledgeable staff may be utilized to determine acceptability of
transfer credit.
- If course content is the same, similar or exceeds that offered at
NMCC, full transfer creditwill be given.
- If unable to determine acceptability, either the vice president, department
chairperson or other knowledgeable staff member will be contacted for
assistance.
