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 and the appropriate transcript evaluation fee ($15 for a single learning program evaluation; $25 for multiple evaluations). 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. A listing of several nationally accredited services 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.
