Students must complete theappropriate assessment(s) prior to enrolling inany course for which a given assessment levelis required. Students must begin any coursework in reading, writing, and mathematicsat their assessed skill levels. Students maynot register for courses above their assessedskill level. Lack of English skills will not be abarrier to admission or participation. In orderto eliminate barriers we take appropriatemeasures to assess each student’s ability toparticipate and benefit through placementtesting and counseling. Based on assessmentand counseling, students are then providedwith campus services or a referral tocommunity services to be better prepared forsuccessful participation at <strong>Century</strong> <strong>College</strong>.Students who are nonnative speakers ofEnglish and who have had fewer than eight (8)years of education in the United States mustcomplete the Accuplacer ESL and may also beasked to take the Accuplacer test in reading,writing, or mathematics.

However, should these students findthat they wish to expand their educationalpursuits; it is highly recommended that theytake the placement assessment. Failure todo so may result in delays in registering fordesired classes that have placement testingrequirements.Preparation for AssessmentsThese assessments are important becausethey determine which courses a studentmust take at <strong>Century</strong> <strong>College</strong>. The Accuplacerassessments consist of reading, writing, andmathematics tests. The questions includeevaluating grammar in a series of sentences;answering several questions following thereading of a particular passage; and completingarithmetic, elementary algebra, and collegelevel mathematics.

5 Educational ProgramsUnderstanding How Transferof Credits Works1. The receiving college or university decideswhich credits transfer and whether thosecredits meet its degree requirements. Theaccreditation of both your sending and yourreceiving institution can affect whether thecredits you earn will transfer.2. Institutions accept credits from courses andprograms that are similar to those theyoffer. They look for similarity in coursegoals, content, and level.3. Not everything that transfers will help yougraduate. Baccalaureate degree programsusually count credits in three categories:general education; major/minor courses andprerequisites; and electives. The keyquestion is, “Will your credits fulfill therequirements of the degree or program youchoose?”4. If you change your career goal or major,you might not be able to complete alldegree requirements within the usualnumber of graduation credits. If you changeyour degree/major program, complete theStudent Change of Information form at theRecords Office.Applying for Transfer Admission1. Completing an Application for Admission isalways the first step in transferring. Fill outthe application early to beat the deadline.Send the application fee.2. Request that official transcripts be sentfrom every institution you have attended.You may be required to provide a highschool transcript or GED test scores as well.Failure to send a transcript from a schoolyou have attended can result in seriousconsequences such as dismissal.3. Confirm that you have supplied the collegeor university with all the necessarydocumentation. Most colleges make nodecisions until all required documents are inyour file.4. After the college notifies you that you havebeen accepted for admission, request thatyour submitted transcript’s credits beevaluated for transferable credits. Ask thata written evaluation be provided for you.5. If you have questions about your evaluation,speak with a Counselor or the DARSTransfer Office. Ask why judgments weremade about specific courses. Many concernscan be cleared up if you understand whythe decisions were made. If you are notsatisfied, you can appeal. See “Your Rightsas a Transfer Student” below.Your Rights as a Transfer StudentAs a transfer student, you have the right to thefollowing:1. A clear, understandable statement of aninstitution’s transfer policy.2. A fair credit review and an explanation ofwhy credits were or were not accepted.3. A copy of the formal appeals process.Common appeal steps are as follows:a) You fill out an appeal form. Supplementalinformation you provide to reviewers - asyllabus, course description, or readinglist - can help.b) Department or committee will review.c) You will receive, in writing, the outcomeof the appeal.d) You can petition the decision.4. At your request, a review of your eligibilityfor financial aid or scholarships.If you would like help with your transferquestions or problems, please see a <strong>Century</strong><strong>College</strong> counselor.Associate in Arts DegreeOverviewThe Associate in Arts degree (AA) is intendedprimarily for students who plan to transferto another college to complete a bachelor’sdegree. It can be considered the first twoyears of a four-year degree program. The AAdegree is a general liberal arts degree, andno specific major is listed in conjunction withthe degree. However, you may choose toconcentrate in a particular field of study aspreparation for a planned major at a four-yearcollege or university. You must take at least 40of the 60 credits within the Minnesota GeneralEducation Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) outlinedin the preceding section. If you plan to transferto a four-year college or university, you shouldwork with one of <strong>Century</strong>’s counselors priorto, and during, enrollment at <strong>Century</strong> <strong>College</strong>to help you plan an appropriate program (bothgeneral education and major requirements).An agreement with the Minnesota State<strong>College</strong>s and Universities (MnSCU) providesthat <strong>Century</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s Associate in ArtsDegree or MnTC will satisfy all of the lowerdivisiongeneral education requirements of anyof the state universities.An agreement with the University ofMinnesota provides that an Associate inArts Degree or MnTC will satisfy the LiberalEducation requirements.<strong>Century</strong> also has agreements with privateand out-of-state colleges/universities (e.g.,Augsburg <strong>College</strong>, <strong>College</strong> of St. Scholastica,Concordia University-St. Paul, Universityof Wisconsin-River Falls, University ofWisconsin-Stout, North Dakota StateUniversity and University of North Dakota) toallow easy transfer of the AA degree.651.779.3300 41
