Transfer-In Information

The evaluation of your transfer credits is a two step process:

Step 1: Submit your official transcripts to North Hennepin Community College’s Admissions Office.

Step 2: The Transfer Specialist will determine how many credits will transfer, and which courses will apply toward your desired program. This evaluation will be available through your Degree Audit Report (DARS).

PREREQUISITE NOTICE:

If you have taken courses at another college that are pre-requisites for courses at NHCC, it is important to have your official transcripts forwarded to our Admissions Office.  You should still have your transcripts forwarded, even if you do not plan on transferring to NHCC permanently.

In general, courses will be accepted if:

  • they are from an accredited college or university
  • the course content is comparable to the NHCC course

Caution: You cannot count credit twice for essentially the same course (i.e., do not take English Composition I at one campus and repeat that equivalent course at another campus). In order to avoid the expense in both time and money needlessly repeating a course, it is important to have all your transcripts submitted for evaluation.

Appeals:

1. Transfer evaluations are completed by the Transfer Specialist.  If you feel an error was made, contact the Transfer Specialist. 

2. If the transfer decision has been made and you do not agree with the decision, you may appeal to the college. The Transfer Specialist or a counselor/advisor will help you begin the appeal process.

3. If you submit an appeal, it will be reviewed by the appropriate Dean and you will be sent the result of your appeal. You may be asked to provide additional information about the course(s) under appeal at any time (e.g., course syllabi, text titles, final exams).
