What other information do I need to know?
- Some schools, such as the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln, require a student
to have taken certain high school classes for admission. If you do
not have all the high school admission requirements, you may take
those classes with SCC.
- Many courses at SCC have
prerequisites. A prerequisite may be a placement
test score (ACT or Compass) or another course. All English and math
courses, some science courses, most psychology courses, and most
sociology courses have prerequisites. Prerequisites are important
and must be done!
- The Academic Transfer program
has full-time advisors as well as faculty advisors. A student may
see any advisor she/he wishes. You should see an advisor if you
have any questions about registering for classes, prerequisites,
transferability of classes, etc.
How do classes
transfer?
- Most colleges and universities
will accept 60-66 semester hours in transfer. This is equivalent to
90-99 quarter hours. (One-and-a-half quarter hours equal one
semester hour).
- You may transfer at any time.
You do not have to take a minimum number of classes or hours at SCC
before transferring. You do not have to earn an associate degree
before transferring.
- Most schools require a grade of
"C" for the class to transfer. Moreover, most schools require a
CGPA (Cumulative Grade-Point Average) of at least 2.0 (C average)
to transfer. However, many schools or departments require a higher
CGPA for admittance. Competitive schools which do not accept all
applicants usually give preference to those with higher CGPAs.
- You should apply to your
transfer college six to nine months before you plan to begin
classes there. Include an official transcript from SCC as part of
your application. You may arrange for a transcript to be mailed
wherever you wish with a written request to Student Services or by
selecting "Transcript Request" from the Student Menu on
WebAdvisor.
