How do transfer credits work when taking a CMC class?

3 options The class you are taking meets a guaranteed transfer (GT) requirement. The class is accepted as an elective credit The college or university you are attending will not accept the course as transfer credit.*

Some things to keep in mind Always keep an electronic and paper copy of the syllabus and contact information for the professor. You may need this down the road if there is a discussion regarding whether a course will/will not be accepted as transfer credit. If a course is not accepted as a GT or elective at the college or university you are attending there is always room for discussion. CMC is a regionally accredited institution through the Higher Learning Commission with qualified faculty teaching within their disciplinary areas of expertise. If the college or university you are attending says that they won t accept a course (s) for transfer credit call or visit the Registrars office for further discussion regarding why. Your final grade in a course might be part of the discussion regarding whether the course will transfer or not. This is particularly true for more specialized majors or in situations where a course might double count for general education credit and credit towards your major.
