Transfer Credit/Advanced Placement

Savannah Technical College reserves the right not to accept credit for work completed more than eight years prior to admission, excluding general core courses. Credits earned at a regionally accredited college/university or through military training are accepted as described below.

Procedures

  1. Applicants seeking transfer credit must submit official transcript(s) from all post-secondary institutions attended and apply for admission at least thirty (30) days prior to enrolling at Savannah Technical College. An official transcript is one sent directly to Savannah Technical College or hand delivered in a sealed envelope with the official seal of the college.
  2. Transfer credits are only accepted from high schools accredited by the Georgia Accrediting Commission and colleges/universities accredited by one of the six regional accrediting associations as verified by the official transcript.
    1. Transfer credit hours are granted based upon successful completion of the high school Advanced Placement (AP) examination, the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Services (DANTES) exemption test, as well as the American Council of Education (ACE) recommendation for non-traditional military and experiential learning. Official score reports must be on file before credit will be granted.
    2. Transfer credit hours accepted must be the same as the credit hours awarded from the sending institution.
    3. A minimum grade of "C" is required in all courses for which students are seeking transfer credit. A minimum grade of "B" is required for Math and Anatomy & Physiology for acceptance into the Nursing and Surgical Technology programs.
    4. Military students must submit transcripts from all institutions attended.
    5. Transfer credits are only awarded for courses that are equivalent to those requirements in the program of study at Savannah Technical College.
  3. The Vice President of Student Success or designee will review the official transcript prior to the applicant's enrollment. A copy of the transfer credit evaluation will be provided to the student and the academic advisor.
  4. The Vice President of Student Success or designee has the final decision on the acceptance of transfer credit.
