Transfer Credit to Mott Community College

Official Evaluation of Credits Transferred to MCC

Many students enroll in Mott Community College courses and programs as transfer students and Mott Community College generally accepts freshman and sophomore college level credits from a regionally accredited college or university. If you are not yet a student at Mott Community College and would like to see what courses from other Michigan colleges would transfer to MCC, please check out mitransfer from the Michigan Transfer Network and review the "Transfer Your Courses" option to search for course equivalencies.

The following policy must apply when considering a transcript from another college or university:

• Transcripts of a student’s college credit will be reviewed by the Office of the Registrar to determine their eligibility for transfer.
• In order for transfer credit to be awarded to a Mott Community College transcript, students must have their official transcripts sent directly from all institutions attended that are recognized by the US Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. Verification of institutional accreditation status can be verified by the Registrar
• Transfer credit will be awarded to students with coursework earned at regionally accredited institutions
• Transfer credit will be awarded for courses completed at colleges and universities outside of the United States that are accredited or approved by the Ministry of Education (or other appropriate governmental agency) of the country in which the institution is located.
• Transfer credit may be awarded from institutions with other accreditations recognized by the US Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. These reviews are handled on a case-by-case basis. Students are encouraged to contact the Office of the Registrar for questions and determination of transfer credit
• MCC will accept transfer credit for comparable courses with at least a “C” grade from all accredited institutions, provided the student has a cumulative G.P.A. of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 grading scale.

Mott Community College may grant college credit for Military Experience as recommended by the American Council of Education (ACE) if applicable. Students with Military Experience are encouraged to meet with a Veteran Service Specialist prior to requesting their Military transcript. More information can be found on the Veteran Services Webpage.

The college accepts transfer credits but not grade points. Transfer students accepted by Mott Community College with advanced standing must complete a minimum of 15 credits of satisfactory work at MCC to be eligible for graduation with an associate degree or a minimum of 15 credits of satisfactory work to be eligible for graduation with a certificate of achievement.

The applicability of vocational/technical courses to MCC program course requirements will be determined by the appropriate academic division.
