Utilize Previous College Credit for Placement or Prerequisites

Students with previous college credit may be able to use transcripts for placement into math, English and other courses. 

Accepted Credits:

Credits earned at institutions accredited by their regional accrediting association may be accepted. To verify if an educational institution is accredited, use the accreditation database provided by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education.  You can search for an institution by name to find its accrediting agency.

Submission Process:

To use previous college credit for placement or prerequisite purposes, submit all transcripts and progress reports through our Secure Document Upload tool. Unofficial transcripts must include:

  • Institution name
  • Student name
  • Course grade (letter or decimal value)

Official transcripts:

Submit official transcripts and a  Transcript Evaluation Request to the Office of the Registrar for application of credits toward degree requirements. The Registrar's Office website has more information about the transcript evaluation process, including use of Joint Service Transcripts.

Foreign Transcripts:

Transcripts from outside the U.S. must be evaluated by an external service. Official evaluated international transcripts can be used for the application of credits towards degree requirements. Please see the process listed above for Official Transcripts. We are unable to use evaluated international transcripts for placement purposes.
