Incoming Transfer Students

Welcome to Sussex County Community College!

Sussex County Community College will accept a maximum of 50% of the credits required for a degree (A.A., A.S. or A.F.A.) or certificate or up to 39 credits for an A.A.S. degree for credits earned at other institutions, by experiences and/or by examination (CLEP or Challenge Links to an external site.) in order to complete requirements for a degree from Sussex. If science and computer courses were completed more than eight years ago, students will be required to repeat them (for the PCCC Nursing Program there is a five-year limit on sciences, from the date of the course completion).

These credits will be entered in the Credits Earned column of the transcript and will not affect a student’s quality-point average.

Transfer credits

• Transfer Credits earned at other institutions are entered on the transcripts only after a student has been accepted and matriculated in a curriculum.
• Students transferring credits from another institution should arrange for official transcripts to be sent to the Registrar's Office for evaluation.
• After the transcript evaluation is complete, students will be informed which courses have been accepted for transfer toward a Sussex degree.
• Students who are registering before receiving their transcript evaluation should meet with the Transfer Counselor in the Advising and Counseling Center for an unofficial assessment of their transcript.

Minimum Grade for Transfer
A minimum grade of “C” or its equivalent is required for transfer credit to be applicable to a student’s certificate or associate degree curriculum..
Special accredited courses and other training will be evaluated (i.e. Ponsi, banking, ACE, military) on an individual basis.

International students must have their foreign transcripts translated and evaluated into US equivalents by a National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) member.
