Transfer Credit


Following a student’s admission, the Registrar’s office will evaluate official college transcripts for possible transfer credit.

Transfer Students

Entering transfer students must have a cumulative grade point average which falls within NPC’s guidelines for good academic standing. Students on academic suspension from another institution will be eligible for admission only after having remained out of school for one semester or upon being eligible to return to the institution previously attended.

Transfer credit will only be evaluated and added to a permanent record for those students who have completed course work as a degree-seeking candidate at NPC. Grades earned in transfer courses are not considered in calculating student grade point averages at NPC.

Credit for Previous Training or Experience

Persons with previous training or experience in their vocational objective may be granted advanced status if approved by the Registrar. The student must furnish evidence, request evaluation, and may be required to take proficiency examinations in order to receive this credit. The Financial Aid and Veterans Affairs Office are notified of previous credit, when applicable.

Credit for Military Experience

Credit awarded for military experience is based on the American Council of Education’s (ACE) recommendation for the Veteran’s Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) code found in the current Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services. The discharge/transfer form DD-214 is required. After completion of a course at NPC, the ACE-recommended credits for the veteran’s MOS code will be placed on the student’s NPC transcript as general elective credits.

Any additional educational courses taken while in the military will be evaluated and awarded credit as per NPC’s general procedures for acceptance of transfer credit.
