Transfer Credits
Transfer credits from all regionally-accredited institutions of higher education are recorded on your academic record. Developmental course credits are not accepted toward a degree or certificate, but are entered on your college record. Courses taken at institutions that are not accredited by a regional accrediting association are generally not accepted at BRCC. However, students transferring from non-regionally accredited institutions can requests credit if faculty qualifications and student competencies can be documented. You may petition to gain acceptance of such coursework by:

• Establishing that another regionally-accredited institution has accepted the courses in question toward a degree or certificate.
• Providing verification from the Chief Academic Officer of the transfer institution that a coursework meets SACS requirements.

Acceptance of transfer credits to meet degree and certificate program requirements will be governed by the following guidelines:

• Acceptance of courses taken before you transfer to BRCC is determined by the academic dean upon the recommendation of the faculty.
• Students lacking college-level credits in English or math will be required to tale the BRCC Placement Test.
• Grades for transferred courses will be interpreted according to the BRCC grading scale and will be recorded as follows:
  • Grades of W, WA, WB, WC, WD, and WP will not be recorded
  • Plus (+) or minus (-) symbols will be disregarded.
  • Grades of Pass, Credit, and satisfactory will count in hours earned.
  • Failing grades, including WF, will count for hours attempted.
  • Grades in remedial courses are recorded, but not included in GPA calculation.
• Transcripts will be evaluated for degree-seeking students during their first semester at BRCC by the Office of Enrollment Services.
• A transfer grade of “C” is the lowest grade accepted in English Composition I and II.
• Transfer work earned in quarter-hour credits will be converted to semester hours by totaling the quarter hours times 2/3 to equal semester hours.
• A maximum of 45 transfer credits will be accepted toward degree requirements for the published degree program.
