    Regionally Accredited Colleges and Universities Credit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Courses taken at regionally accredited institutions will be evaluated for courses taught at Schoolcraft. Students must score 2.0\/C or higher for consideration. Some programs may require higher grades for acceptance of transfer credit. We do not evaluate or grant transfer credit for courses below 100 level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Effective Winter 2019 semester:  Transfer credit will be granted for an exact equivalent course from another accredited institution in which the student received a 0.0 grade at Schoolcraft College. Please note that the 0.0 grade will still be calculated in the student’s grade point average.  These requests should be submitted to screcord@schoolcraft.edu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Request official transcripts from your previous college\/university to be sent directly to the Schoolcraft College Student Records office.   Hand carried or “issued to student copies” are not accepted for the purposed of evaluating transfer credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    International students should use one of the approved evaluation services listed on the Incoming Transcripts<\/a> page.  International transcript translation companies do charge for their services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There is no charge to students to have transcript evaluated, but previous institutions may charge for official transcripts to be sent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
