Transfer Terminology
Before you start the process, below are some basic definitions that will help you in the transfer process:
Transfer
The process of completing course work at one institution and transferring credit to another.
Transfer Credit
The acceptance of course work by an institution other than the one where the course work was completed.
Receiving Institution
The institution you will attend after National Park College. Receiving institutions can grant transfer credits to individual courses or to entire degree programs.
Sending Institution
The institution where you have completed course work and from where you are transferring. In your case, National Park College is the sending institution.
Rules of Transfer
Before you begin the transfer process, it is important to understand the following:
- You are responsible to find out what courses the receiving institution will accept from National Park College. Review the transfer degree opportunities or contact an academic advisor to determine which courses will transfer.
- Course transfers typically have a minimum grade requirement of a C or higher for transfer credits.
- Transfer credits are frequently subject to time limitations. If your credits are several years old, the receiving institution may not consider them for transfer. Check with your receiving institution about their policy on transfer credit.
- Receiving institutions may require detailed information about the courses you have completed. If your receiving institution is uncertain about the transfer of your completed course work, course descriptions may be found in the College catalog. You are also encouraged to retain the syllabus of any course you may want to transfer.
- It is also recommended that you inquire about scholarship opportunities for transfer students from the receiving institution's Office of Admissions, Office of Financial Aid, or Office of Transfer Student Services.
