Transfer Credit

Credit earned at other regionally accredited institutions may be considered for credit by Northwest Mississippi Community College according to the following policies: 

• Official transcripts reflecting all completed coursework must be sent directly to the Registrar’s Office from the issuing institution.
• Transfer credit will be evaluated when a student declares the intent to seek an associate degree from Northwest. In this case, the faculty advisor, in consultation with the Registrar, assesses and recommends the courses which should apply toward degree requirements. Any courses accepted for transfer must have curriculum validity and be determined equal to those same courses at Northwest.
• Credit hours are adjusted to the Northwest semester hour scale for students who transfer from other accredited postsecondary institutions.
• If a student transfers from another institution and intends to graduate from Northwest with an associate degree, at least 27 hours must be completed at Northwest.
• Courses will be transferred as credits only, and the transfer grades will not be used in calculating grade point averages.
