Carroll Community College courses transfer! Carroll makes every effort to maintain current and accurate transfer information; however, students should always verify information with the intended transfer school. Students may find information about transferring in Maryland at artsys.usmd.edu and www.carrollcc.edu/transfer. Please consult an academic advisor to plan a program of study at Carroll that will transfer to the college of your choice. Students who do not utilize these transfer resources are at risk of losing credits in transfer.
Transfer of Credits
A student who plans to transfer to a four-year college or university must meet the requirements of that institution. Colleges vary widely in their freshman and sophomore requirements. Students are advised to become acquainted with the course requirements of the institution to which they expect to transfer. Academic advisors will help students plan their schedules to meet these requirements so that credits are not lost in transfer. Students are responsible for seeing that they take the courses necessary for junior-status admission to their chosen four-year college.
Transfer to Other Maryland Institutions of Higher Education
Special transfer policies have been developed by the Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC) for community college students transferring to other Maryland institutions of public higher education. This policy allows for uninterrupted progress of the student from one institution to another. Maximum transfer of college-level credits is assured, and transfer students are to be governed by the same academic rules and regulations as apply to native students (students originally enrolled at the four-year college). While there may be additional General Education courses (or specific courses required), by state agreement, Carroll’s General Education courses will transfer to Maryland State 4-year institutions and will be accepted toward their General Education course requirements. Students planning to transfer within Maryland should consult ARTSYS or an academic advisor in the Advising and Transfer Center.
An overall grade point average of 2.000 will be assumed as one standard for admission and will be computed on grades received at all institutions attended unless the student presents an Associate of Arts, Associate of Sciences, or Associate of Applied Sciences degree, which guarantees admission on a space-available basis. Certain programs of study require higher grade point averages or may have other selective admissions criteria. Credits transferred from a community college shall normally be limited to approximately one half the bachelor’s degree requirements but in no case more than 70 credits.
Transcripts
During the last term at Carroll Community College, request that official transcripts be sent to potential transfer institutions. A $5.00 fee is required for this service. It is advisable to send transcripts reflecting courses and grades earned to date, as well as a completed transcript when the term ends. If you are graduating, please wait until your degree is posted.
