Incoming Transfer Credit

Transferring Credit into Temple College

Credit for courses in which a grade of “D” or better has been earned may be transferred to Temple College from colleges and universities accredited through recognized regional accrediting associations. Unaccredited institutional coursework will not count as transfer work accepted to Temple College. In order to determine if courses transfer, students must meet with an Academic Advisor to review transcripts.

To begin the process of transferring your coursework, you should request that your university send an official transcript to the Temple College Admissions and Records Office.

Evaluating Transfer Credits for Graduation
