Transfer to PSC
All credits attempted at the freshman and sophomore levels at regionally accredited institutions will be recorded as transfer credits. An accepted transfer course satisfies general education requirements for the associate degrees only if the course is essentially the same as a corresponding Pensacola State College course. Final determination of transfer credits and course equivalency is made by the College Registrar. The evaluation process is normally completed within six (6) weeks of all college transcripts being received, and the student will be notified by PirateMail when the evaluation is complete. Credits accepted and the manner in which those credits meet degree requirements may be viewed by the student through his or her Spyglass records (unofficial transcript and degree audit). A student admitted to a baccalaureate program will have transcripts reviewed for possible transfer of junior and senior level courses. See Baccalaureate Program Admission.
Credits from Non-Regionally-Accredited Colleges
A student who has completed course work at a college or university that does not hold accreditation from one of the six regional accrediting agencies will not be required to submit transcripts from those institutions for admission purposes. However, the transcripts may be required for the determination of financial aid eligibility. A student who wishes to pursue the awarding of transfer credit for course work completed at a non-regionally-accredited institution should consult with the Office of Admissions or an advisor regarding the procedure in place for seeking transferability of courses.
Credits from Institutions in Other Countries
A student who has completed college-level courses in another country will not be required to submit transcripts. However, if the student wishes to have credit earned in another country considered for transfer purposes, the student will be responsible for securing the evaluation services of a recognized credentials evaluation agency. Information regarding this process may be obtained in any admissions office. Pensacola State College will not be involved in the fees charged by the credentials evaluation agency.
The recommendations made by the credentials evaluation agency will be reviewed, and coursework may be accepted provided the courses are comparable to courses taught at Pensacola State College.
College credits for English composition courses will not be accepted unless the student’s placement test scores indicate readiness for ENC1101C English Composition I. English courses taught in the English as a Second Language format will not be considered equivalent to either ENC1101C or ENC1102.
