Transfer Credit from Other Institutions
Students may request transfer of credit for course work completed at a nationally or regionally recognized accredited institution. To comply with state policy, West Georgia Technical College requires that a minimum of twenty-five percent (25%) of the course work of a particular program of study be completed at WGTC in order to grant the award. The Registrar may confer with program instructors when determining appropriateness of transfer request but is responsible for final transfer credit approval. Students who have been educated outside of the United States will need to have their transcripts translated and evaluated by professional credential evaluation services before any credit will be considered.
- Student may request review for transfer of credit within the first semester of attendance by emailing registrar@westgatech.edu.
- Student must provide an official transcript from the institution with which course work was completed. Transfer credit may not be awarded if credit is showing on transcript as transfer or exemption credit.
- Course work must be concurrent with the curriculum outline of the student's current program of study. Student may be required to furnish course catalog or course syllabus.
- Previous course work must have been completed with a grade of C (2.0) or better to be considered for transfer credit.
- Certain courses are subject to time limitations. Specific technical, science, and Health Sciences courses may not be considered for transfer credit after seven years.
- Student will be notified via Self-Service Banner Web account.
