Southeast Community College - Nebraska

• 4 years of math (including geometry if transferring to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln)
• 4 years of English
• 3 years of social sciences
• 3 years of natural sciences
• 2 years of foreign language

• A list of general education courses required for your major.
• A list of admissions requirements for the college – including the minimum GPA you will need from SCC to get accepted for your major.
• Information on which SCC classes will transfer and how those classes apply to your baccalaureate degree.

• The receiving school always has final approval of how they will use your previous credits.
• Courses usually must have a grade of ‘C’ or better to transfer the credits.
• Four-year schools require a minimum cumulative GPA of a 2.0 (‘C’ average) to transfer. Many schools or majors require a higher GPA.
• Remember: credits transfer – grades do not. Your GPA at any school is based on the classes you took at that institution.
• Your grades at SCC will be used to make an admissions decision for the school you plan to transfer to. After you transfer, however, you will have credits on your transcripts but no GPA until you complete courses at your transfer institution.
• Most schools will accept 60-66 semester hours or 90-99 quarter hours in transfer from a community college. The number of credits you are able to transfer over does not include foundational (general courses with course numbers less than 1000) classes.
• Your transfer school will want an official transcript from SCC once you transfer. Go to the Student Services Office on your campus to request a transcript or select "Transcript Request" from the Student Menu on WebAdvisor.
• Apply to your transfer school at least 6-9 months before you wish to attend. Some schools have earlier deadlines.

The Nebraska Transfer Initiative

The Nebraska Transfer Initiative (click here to see the Articulation Matrix) provides seamless transition for SCC Academic Transfer graduates. The Initiative is a cooperative effort by Nebraska's public and private higher education institutions to facilitate the transfer of students who have earned an associate of arts degree into baccalaureate-level programs.
The core of this initiative is a common general education cluster of courses, with the remainder of credit hours required for the associate of arts degree selected by the students in consultation with a transfer advisor and the institution to which they are transferring. This initiative provides a smooth transition with a minimum loss of time and credit when it is accepted by the baccalaureate-granting institution in Nebraska. Effectively, through this initiative, associate and baccalaureate-granting institutions are equal partners in providing the first two years of a baccalaureate degree.
