Credit Hours for Previous Education or Training
Students must complete an Application for Transfer Credit form and submit official transcripts, course
descriptions, and other supporting documentation to be considered for transfer credit. The student must have
successfully completed the course with a score of C- or better, or a “P” in a pass/fail course for the application
to be considered. The course must have similar content and have parity in hours and must have been taken
within five years of enrollment at NCC. The application and all supporting documentation must be submitted
before the end of the Conditional Acceptance period to be considered by NCC.
NCC will consider transferring credits for previous training obtained from other institutions accredited by an
agency recognized by the United States Department of Education (ED) or the Council for Higher Education
Accreditation (CHEA). NCC will also consider awarding credit for professional learning reviewed by the
American Council for Education (ACE) and determined to be college level. NCC does not offer credit for
advanced placement examinations or experiential learning.
Credit for previous training is granted at the discretion of a designated school representative and such decisions
are considered final at the time of admission. All decisions will be made within fourteen (14) calendar days of
receipt of the application and all supporting documentation. If credit is granted, the length and cost of the
program may be reduced proportionately, depending on the circumstances. Credits approved for transfer will
not be included in the student’s calculation for grade point average and will be recorded as a grade of “TC” on
the student’s official transcript.
The evaluation of previous postsecondary education and training is mandatory/required for VA beneficiaries.
For students utilizing Veterans benefits who are approved for transfer credit as a result of this evaluation, the
institution will grant appropriate credit, reduce the program length proportionately, notify the student and
Veterans Affairs in writing of this decision, and adjust invoicing of the VA accordingly.
