Transfer Credit Guide

• Official transcript from each college attended, sent directly to the Registrar.
• Transcripts must arrive by midterm of your first semester at MBC.
• “Transcript of a transcript” isn’t accepted; we need records from the original source.

• Transfer coursework must come from an institution accredited by a USDE-recognized agency.
• Only courses with grade C or better are considered.
• Developmental/remedial courses (below 100-level) aren’t transferable.

• Up to 90 semester hours (or 135 quarter hours) may be awarded toward a bachelor’s degree.
• Some courses may transfer to MBC but not apply to your chosen major.
• Registrar decides what meets core requirements; departments decide what meets major requirements.

• Credit toward certificate programs is not awarded from transfer.
• Unsealed or student-issued transcripts aren’t accepted as official.

• Accepted transfer credits count toward graduation hours but do not affect your MBC GPA.
• All students — including transfer — must complete the MBC core. Approved transfer courses may substitute where appropriate.
• If you transfer in fewer than 30 credits, you must take GED 100 New Student Success. With 30 or more, you’re exempt.

General rule

• Score of 3+ may earn 3 semester hours in a relevant core area (submit official AP score report and Credit by Examination application).
