Transfer Students
Transfer students who have acquired college credit from other institution(s), must submit official college transcript(s) to the Admissions Office at the time of application to be considered for transfer credit. Upon acceptance, the Student Records Office will complete a transfer credit evaluation and an email notification of credits awarded will be sent. The transfer credit evaluation will be available on MyFLCC.
To have a course accepted for transfer at FLCC, the course content, learning outcomes, and length/time of instruction of the course will be the primary determining factors to its transferability. Credits earned at an institution accredited by one of the six regional accrediting agencies (e.g. Middle States Association) or by the New York State Board of Regents, or approved by The American Council on Education (ACE) more readily transfer than others. FLCC does not determine transferability exclusively on the basis of the sending institution’s accreditation.
The sending institution must be accredited by an agency the USDE recognizes and, if the institution is not accredited by one of the above regional or state agencies, a complete course syllabus may be required to determine transferability. Only coursework completed with a grade of “C-” and higher will be considered for transfer, and the coursework must meet degree requirements within the student’s chosen degree program. Grades from previous colleges do not apply to a student’s FLCC grade point average. Transfer credit appears on the FLCC transcript and degree evaluation with a grade of “T” and carries earned credit hours only.
Credits may be accepted for transfer from non-accredited colleges and universities; evaluation for transfer credit will be made on a course-by-course basis.
Training that has been evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE) may be transferred as college credit based on ACE recommendations. Individuals who have served in the military should submit an AARTS, SMART, CLAF, or Joint Services transcript to the Admissions Office; DD214 forms will be evaluated for physical education credit. Military transfer credit is awarded based on American Council on Education (ACE) recommendations and applicability to degree program.
Credits earned at a college or university outside of the United States must be evaluated by a professional credential evaluation agency. These agencies provide a professional course by course evaluation of college and university credits. Charges for this service may vary. Agencies providing this service include Educational Credential Evaluators and World Education Services.
