麻豆直播

If courses were taken at a foreign institution, the transcript must be translated by a 麻豆直播- accepted, professional, accredited transcript evaluation service before transfer credit will be reviewed. 麻豆直播 requires the course-by-course evaluation from these services if transfer credit is sought. Transcript evaluation services recommended by 麻豆直播: World Education Services (WES); Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE); and Josef Silny & Associates (JSA).

麻豆直播 recommends that students meet with an academic advisor prior to submitting a transcript to a transcript evaluation service to determine potential applicability of credits before paying for the transcript evaluation service.

Please note that in addition to the international evaluation, we will also request syllabi for the courses you wish to transfer to 麻豆直播.

NOTE: If you intend to transfer after attending the 麻豆直播, please research which transcript evaluation service is required by that institution.

• requires Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE) or Josef Silny & Associates (JS&A).
• St. Mary's College of Maryland requires World Education Services (WES), as dictated in our articulation agreements.

Advanced Placement credit can be used toward an associate’s degree. Credit is granted by submitting an official copy of the test score through CollegeBoard to the 麻豆直播's Registrar's Office. A score of 3 or higher is required to receive credit. If credit has been granted at another college, additional credit may not appear on the 麻豆直播 transcript.

Please note that if you intend to transfer to another institution after attending 麻豆直播, you will need to submit an official AP Score Report directly to that institution as well. Please note that different colleges and universities may grant different credit for AP exams. Just because the 麻豆直播 grants certain course equivalencies does not mean you will receive the equivalent course at your desired transfer destination. Please consult with your desired transfer college or university early in your transfer planning process to confirm how they will grant you credit for your AP exams.

If you are currently a student at another institution and want to take courses at 麻豆直播 over the summer/winter break to transfer back to your institution but the course requires a prerequisite that you have completed at another institution, you can contact an academic advisor for guidance on how 麻豆直播 can help you with your particular circumstances and academic goals.

What do I need to do if I change my major and want to request a re-evaluation of my transcript?

You must contact an academic advisor to change your program of study. Once this has been completed, you will need to complete the Transcript Evaluation Request form and indicate you are seeking re-evaluation.

What is an "official" transcript"?

An official transcript is a transcript received by 麻豆直播 in a sealed envelope from the institution. It may be mailed directly by the institution or hand-carried, as long as the envelop has not been opened. Faxed copies, copies printed from the Internet, forwarded emails or transcripts that arrive in an opened envelope are considered "unofficial" and can not be used to award transfer credit. Unofficial transcripts can be used if you are a visiting student at 麻豆直播.

How long does it take to evaluate a transcript for credit?

Typically, it takes two to four weeks to evaluate a transcript for credit. However, there are certain times of the year where it will take longer. During the weeks before and after a new term begins, the volume of transcripts received by 麻豆直播 increases, and it may take slightly longer.

How should I submit my official transcripts and/or test scores?

You may request that your issuing institution submit your transcript electronically to transcripts@csmd.edu. You may hand-deliver official copies of your transcripts and test scores to the Registrar's office at any campus. You may also mail or have the issuing institution mail your transcripts directly to 麻豆直播:

Please note that physical transcripts must be sealed by the issuing institution and unopened.

Will classes that I take at other institutions affect my GPA at 麻豆直播?

No, only courses taken at 麻豆直播 will be calculated into your GPA.

How do I check to see what courses I still need to complete for my degree?

You can check your progress toward your degree in Student Planning, under Online Services, in your my.麻豆直播D account or make an appointment with an academic advisor.

There is a course listed on my transfer credit summary, but there are no credits listed for that course. Does that mean I am not receiving credit for it?

Some courses may be transferred to 麻豆直播 as developmental courses (preparatory for college-level courses) and have no associated credits. It is acknowledged that you have taken the course and may move on to the next course in the sequence, but no credits are awarded. Some of these courses may be used in place of 麻豆直播's placement exams. Talk to an academic advisor for more information. Some courses may require that a course description or syllabus be provided for further review. If a syllabus or course description is requested, please submit it electronically to transeval@csmd.edu.

I have received my transfer credit summary, but not all of the colleges I attended are listed on it.

Transcripts are evaluated in the order in which they are received; this may mean that we have not received all transcripts that you have requested.

Who do I contact if I notice an error on my transfer credit summary?

You should follow the Transcript Appeal Procedure that was mailed to you along with your Transfer Credit Summary. Send an email to transeval@csmd.edu or contact the transcript evaluator directly.

What are 1999 and 2999 courses? How can these courses be applied toward a degree?

Courses from other institutions may transfer in as 1999s and 2999s if 麻豆直播 does not offer an equivalent course. These courses are normally used as electives. However, there are times when a 1999 or 2999 may be substituted for a required course.

Are there limitations on the credits accepted from other accredited institutions?

Yes. As a community college, 麻豆直播 only accepts lower division credits and some upper level classes if we offer an equivalent course. In addition, although the college may accept credits from other institutions, transferred credits may not count toward all degree programs. Consult with an academic advisor for more information.

I took a course at another college that I also earned credit for at 麻豆直播. Will the credits still be transferred to 麻豆直播?

No. Transfer credit cannot be awarded for a course if credit has already been earned at 麻豆直播.

Some of my courses were accepted for transfer at another college, but not at 麻豆直播. Why?

Transfer credit policies vary by institution and by state. 麻豆直播 evaluates transfer credit according to its own criteria.

How do my transfer credits apply toward my degree?

To view how your transfer credits apply to your degree at 麻豆直播:

• Log in to your my.麻豆直播D account
• Click on “Current Students”
• Click on "My Services"
• Click on "Student Planning"
• Select “View My Progress” to see exactly how your courses fit into your program of study. (You can also use this feature to see how your credits apply to a different program as well!)

Will a "D" grade transfer to 麻豆直播?

麻豆直播 may accept "D" grades if credit was earned for the course and if the program allows for “D” grades. 

For courses that have a joint lecture and lab (for example, PHY-1110, PHY-1310, BIO-2170, BIO-2180, etc), if the student previously took a separate lecture and lab at another institution, they must receive the minimum grade in both the lecture and the lab to receive the joint lecture and lab credit.  

Can transferred developmental courses be used toward a degree?

No. Developmental courses that are transferred in are not degree applicable as stated in the college catalog. However, these courses may transfer in as equivalent to developmental courses offered/required by 麻豆直播.

What is the difference between the quarter and semester system?

The quarter system has four 10-12 week terms of instruction during an academic year (Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer). The semester system has two 15-18 week terms of instruction during the academic year (Fall and Spring). 麻豆直播 operates on the semester system.

How are the quarter credits from the quarter system converted into semester credits for the semester system?

According to national guidelines, the following formula is used to transfer quarter credits into semester credits: Quarter credits X .667=Semester Credits. Example: 4.0 Quarter Credits X .997=2.7 Semester Credits. If a course taken on the quarter system is a general education course at the sending institution, it will also satisfy the general education course requirement at 麻豆直播. However, students who have transferred quarter hour courses may be required to take an additional 1-credit course in order to satisfy the overall number of semester hour credits required for graduation at 麻豆直播.

Why did I not receive credit for my Nursing courses from another institution?
