Transfer Students
A transfer student is a student entering Western Piedmont Community College who has earned credit at another institution. In addition to meeting the admissions requirements of curriculum students, transfer students using credit from another institution for course eligibility must provide official transcripts to Western Piedmont from the institution which originally granted the credit. Only courses with a "C" or better from a regionally accredited institution will be considered. Questions regarding English and math placement, exemptions or requirements for courses and programs should be directed to the Director of Career and Testing Services. To receive consideration for an exemption, a student must submit an official copy of their previous college transcript.
Only courses applicable to a student's program of study will be considered for transfer credit. Transfer credit will not be allowed for courses in which the student has received a grade for credit by examination. In no case shall the combined total of any transfer credit hours, credits by examination, credit for external examinations or course substitutions represent more than one-half of the specified number of hours required for the degree or diploma toward which the student is applying those credits. A grade point average for graduation, honors, and continuing enrollment is computed only for courses taken at Western Piedmont Community College.
