Transfer Credit for Life Sciences Programs

The executive director of registration and records does not automatically award transfer credit for courses specific to Life Sciences programs in Dental Assisting, Dental Hygiene, Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Nursing, Paramedic Technology, Physical Therapist Assistant, Practical Nursing, Radiography, Surgical Technology, and Veterinary Technology. The executive director of registration and records consults with faculty from those programs to determine transfer credit based on course competencies and date of completion (typically within two to five years). Applicants transferring to Athens Technical College from other colleges should review the section on Credit by Transfer in the Academic Information section of this publication for additional information.
