Transfer of Credit Between Programs

Credit on subjects earned with a grade of “D” or better at HCC will be accepted in cases where a student transfers from one curriculum to another within the school. Courses transferred must be comparable in content and contact hours to the course for which credit is given. Transfer of credits from one curriculum program to another will be granted under the following conditions:

 

1. The course(s) is/are required for graduation in both programs.
2. Although taking elective hours in the major curriculum area is encouraged, those credit hours designated “elective” may be taken or transferred from one curriculum to another to the extent of the number of credit hours designated as free elective hours in that curriculum area into which a student transfers.
3. All previous grades earned (including “F’s”) will be included in the applicable major grade point average and CQPA at the time of reentry.
4. Continuing education courses are not transferable to curriculum programs (See Exception below.).
5. Transcript evaluations done during the transition period when HCC changed from the quarter to semester system are no longer valid. Students must meet current catalog requirements.
