REGISTRATION & ACADEMIC RECORDS
150
Transfer credit is recorded as earned credit only on the student transcript and is not calculated in a student’s grade point average.
Credit may be granted to students transferring from other technical colleges, colleges, and universities provided that:
• course is identified on an official college transcript
• course is equivalent to a course within the current student curriculum
• course being transferred meets or exceeds the credit value of the CVTC course; the credits accepted as transfer are given the credit value assigned to the CVTC course
• course is directly applicable to the degree or diploma program being pursued
• grade of “C” (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) or above was earned in the course
• transfer credits have been taken within the age of credit for the program. See age of credit policy. Other restrictions may apply due to licensure, certification, or accreditation requirement.
Students who intend to transfer credits from a Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) program with statewide curriculum into the same program at CVTC must be in good academic standing in their previous program. Academic standing is evaluated in accordance with CVTC’s academic standards. Students who are not in good academic standing must participate in CVTC’s academic appeal process prior to admission in the CVTC program. The academic appeal process can be found at www.cvtc.edu/academicappeals
6. General education credit awarded for students with a bachelor’s degree or higher.
Following WTCS CPL policy, CVTC will award up to 21 general education credits toward the completion of their program. Students who meet the required general education credits may need to complete some additional general education core courses based on documented program-specific requirements. For example, a student with a business degree seeking to enroll in a health occupations program may need to complete additional general education science courses like General Anatomy & Physiology.
7. Military Transfer Credit. CVTC honors ACE recommendations for military training and may award credit for those courses that match credit level and competencies for courses within a student’s program of study. Students should supply their JST transcript and/or Air Force Academy transcript for review.
8. Transfer of CVTC credits from program to program. CVTC will evaluate these credits to determine the extent to which the credits apply to program requirements, general education requirements, or other program-specific graduation requirements. Exceptions may be considered if 80% of the college course competencies are met and credits and lab components are equivalent.
9. National Standardized Examinations. Students may also receive CVTC credits by earning appropriate scores on national standardized examinations such as CLEP, AP, and DANTES tests. Students must achieve the required score on the AP exams to qualify for credit for prior learning. Required scores and equivalent CVTC courses are available on the college website.
High School Articulation Agreements
CVTC offers opportunity for high school students to earn advanced standing and transcripted credit through articulated agreements with district high schools.
1. Advanced Standing – Students who complete the approved secondary course(s) with an A or B final grade will qualify to receive transfer credit upon admission at CVTC. This may be done at the time of application to CVTC without paying additional fees. Students will present appropriate documentation to support their requests for credit earned while in high school.
