Regionally Accredited Colleges and Universities Credit

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.

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 [email protected]. 

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.

International students should use one of the approved evaluation services listed on the Incoming Transcripts page.  International transcript translation companies do charge for their services.

There is no charge to students to have transcript evaluated, but previous institutions may charge for official transcripts to be sent.


Special Licensure or Certification

Students who have earned nationally or state recognized licensure or certification may be eligible to use these credentials to earn college credit.
