Transfer Students

Students planning to transfer to Howard Community College should arrange to meet with an advisor. In addition to standard application procedures, students seeking credit for prior college-level coursework must declare a major and officially request a transcript evaluation by completing and submitting a Transcript Evaluation Request Form.  Transfer students must also submit official transcripts and appropriate catalogs and other documentation necessary for evaluating their transcripts. The Transcript Evaluation Request Form is available in the office of admissions and advising or online at www.howardcc.edu/admissions/transcript-eval/form.html.

FOREIGN TRANSCRIPTS–The college will award transfer credit when appropriate for prior college-level coursework successfully completed at foreign colleges and universities. However, students with foreign transcripts must have a course evaluation by a nationally accredited foreign transcript evaluation service and submit such evaluations to the office of admissions and advising for further review. Generally academic credit is not awarded for English composition or literature courses taught a college or university outside of the United States.  Otherwise, the same policies and procedures that apply to coursework completed at U.S. colleges and universities are used. A listing of several international credentialing agencies is available in the office of admissions and advising and on the website (www.howardcc.edu/admissions/apply/intl/intltranscript.html). Information regarding such services is available in the office of admissions and advising.
