Incoming Credit Acceptance Policy
CHEA-recognized Institutions
College credits earned at institutions of higher learning that are recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) are accepted. Credits are not awarded for sectarian courses. Transfer credits are posted to the Northland Pioneer College transcript after an official evaluation is made of each transcript received by the Records and Registration Admissions Office. The transfer credits will NOT be applied toward the NPC Grade- Point Average (GPA). Credits and degrees over eight years of age (except when program accreditation agencies limit the life of the course work to less than eight years) are subject to review prior to acceptance toward prerequisites and/or degree requirements in some program areas.
Students must earn credits in residency at NPC to complete any degree or certificate program. For more information, see Graduation Requirements .
In most cases, transfer credit will be awarded for each course level 100 or above in which the student received a grade of ‘C’ or higher.
Other Credit Sources
Students may receive credit through a variety of other means than CHEA accredited institution transferred coursework.The institution to which a student transfers may treat acceptance of such credits upon transfer differently. Details on the district policy for granting such credit is given in this catalog under the heading Alternative Education Services, subheading Alternative Learning, Alternative Education Services .
NPC can also evaluate your prior learning certified through military, industry, business or trade school training programs to assess if this education is applicable toward an NPC degree program.
For more information, contact your academic adviser.
Note: Additional fees may apply for credit by evaluation.
