Transferring Credits


Four-year institutions may accept up to 60 transfer credits or more. Please work with an Academic and Transfer advisor to determine the maximum number of credits you may transfer. Your advisor will assist you in understanding the four-year institution’s transfer credit policies, active articulation agreements, and the opportunity to transfer credits that are not an AACC degree requirement. For more information, contact your AACC Academic and Transfer advisor and visit the Transfer Partners webpage.
