Transfer Students
Students may transfer to WCCC credits
earned at other accredited colleges prior to the
beginning of the program, providing that the credits
applied have been earned within the past ten years.
WCCC is the final judge regarding acceptance of
transfer credits. The responsibility rests with
students to furnish the registrar’s office
with (1) an official copy of each college transcript
and (2) a copy of the catalog from each college
at which courses were taken if the college is
not located in Maine. Every effort will be made
to issue transfer credit prior to the beginning
of classes.
Courses with grades of “C”
or better that are judged by WCCC to be equivalent
in nature and content to the college’s course
offerings will be transferred; however, examinations
may be required to show competency of subject
material. Transferred course grades will appear
on the WCCC transcript but will not be used in
computing the student’s WCCC grade point
average.
A student must earn a minimum of
35 percent of his/her certificate, diploma, or
degree credits in residence and these credits
must be earned within five years of the date of
application for graduation. When a decision regarding
transferability of credits is unacceptable, the
student may appeal, in writing, to the academic
dean.
Students desiring to transfer credits
earned at WCCC to another post-secondary institution
can expect courses to be evaluated on an individual
basis by that institution. Approval for the transfer
of credits from WCCC to another college rests
with the receiving institution.
Does WCCC admit transfer
students?
A limited number of transfers is
admitted each year.
Will my credits transfer
to WCCC?
The Office of Admissions will provide
transfer candidates with an estimate regarding
credit transfer at the time of admission. An official
evaluation will follow after updated transcripts
have arrived at Student Records and been appraised
by the appropriate departments.
Does WCCC offer financial
aid to transfer students?
Aid funds for transfer students
may be limited.
Applicants for financial aid must file a Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
