A transfer student, who has attended any post-secondary institution, must have an official transcript sent from all previous institutions to the Registrar's Office. Transfer credits will be accepted from regionally accredited colleges and universities. All transfer credit will be equated on the semester-hour system. All courses will be transferred and calculated into the student's cumulative grade point average. All transcripts must be received and evaluated before being enrolled at SCCC.
An official transcript comes from the previous institution. It has the school seal and/or the registrar's signature. If sent in the mail or hand-delivered, it must be in a sealed envelope from the school.
SCCC will not accept faxed transcripts as official transcripts.
To receive credit for coursework done in another country, you will need to request a course-by-course evaluation to be done on your transcript by a NACES or AICE member organization, then request that the evaluation be sent to Seward County Community College. The list of NACES & AICE organizations can be found here: NACES and AICE
What about placement testing?
If you have not taken a placement test (ACT/SAT/Accuplacer) within the last two years and will be taking a course for which placement scores are necessary (such as English Composition I or College Algebra), you can schedule a time to take the Accuplacer test in our testing center.

Note: It is the responsibility of the transferring student to inform the registrar's office if he/she has previously been academically dismissed at any college. Failure to disclose such information or falsification of information requested may result in immediate dismissal from SCCC.
