Receipt of Transfer Credit from other Colleges and Military to Scott Community College

Transfer credit may be accepted from institutions that are accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges or its regional affiliates. Military credit may be accepted based on an evaluation of military transcripts (preferable with American Council on Education [ACE] guides).

Courses will only transfer if there is a direct comparison with a course in the HSET curriculum. Elective credit or course substitutions will be judged on an individual basis by the College Registrar. Transfer credit will be recorded on the academic transcript (denoted as a "T" on the transcript).

Students may find out which of their credits already earned at another college or the military will transfer to SCC and fulfill requirements for the A.A.S. degree in HSET. The following procedure should be used:

Send a letter, fax, or e-mail to the SCC registrar requesting a transfer credit evaluation. Include:

• Name, address, phone number
• Social security number
• Proposed major - Health, Safety and and Environmental Technology A.A.S. degree
• College(s) sending transcript(s)

Ask the previous college to send an official transcript to:

           SCC Registrar
           500 Belmont Road
           Bettendorf, IA 52722

The same procedure should be used for evaluation of military training.

Notification of prior credits which will transfer will be by U.S. mail or fax to the student.

Students wishing to begin taking courses at another college toward the HSET A.A.S. degree should have these courses evaluated ahead of time to make sure they fulfill SCC requirements.

Send the following, along with your name, address and proposed major, to the SCC Registrar for evaluation:

• Course title
• Course number
• College name
• Copy of the course description from the college catalog
