We will accept most transfer credits with a grade of C or higher if they fit into
the program of study in which you plan to enroll while at CCC. Previous credit must
have been granted at an accredited degree-granting institution. See our Transfer Credit
Guide for details.
Colleges typically accept CCC credits, provided the credits fit into your intended
program of study and you receive the minimum acceptable grade for the institution.
Every college has its own requirements and the final decision on transfer credit acceptance
is made by the institution to which you transfer. Our advisors will help you navigate
the transfer process every step of the way.
