Transferring to 4Cs is made easy with our individualized credit evaluation process, ensuring your previous hard work pays off towards your degree. Here are our transfer credit guidelines:

3. Non-Traditional Education: Credits from non-traditional education sources are accepted if approved by the appropriate academic department's faculty.

4. Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB): Earned credits from AP and IB examinations are considered for transfer.

5. Grade Requirements: Generally, grades of C- (1.67 on a 4.0 scale) or better will be considered for transfer (except where indicated in specific course prerequisites).

6. Credit Conversion: Credits earned at other institutions will be accepted in accordance with the college's established course credit equivalencies. If the transferring institution uses a different credit system, our Registrar will convert the credits accordingly.

Time Limit for Transfer Credits: In most cases, there's no time limit for accepting credits from regionally accredited institutions.
