Transfer Students

All students transferring from post-secondary institutions are requested to submit official copies of transcripts from each institution attended. The Director for Admissions and Records or the Registrar will review applications from students transferring from post-secondary institutions. Where subject content and length are comparable to that of a Bladen Community College course, transfer credit will be allowed for grades of “C” or above. Course work from an international college or university may be accepted. Both an official copy of the international transcript and an official International Transcript Evaluation from a National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) member is required. More information on acceptable NACES member can be found at www.bladencc.edu .

Learning acquired through work experiences will not translate to formal credit. Students who feel that their experiences and background would equate to formal credits in a program area offered by the college may be permitted to earn such credits by examination in selected courses. Credits may be given to educational experiences such as, but not limited to, law enforcement training, military training, and CLEP. Bladen Community College will inform transfer students of credit which will transfer, prior to their enrollment, but, at the latest, prior to the end of the first semester in which they are enrolled. A list of all acceptable transfer courses/credits will be recorded on the student’s cumulative record. The amount of credit granted is in accordance with commonly accepted practice in higher education and is appropriately related to the student’s course of study. Transfer courses/credits will not influence the student’s grade point average while at Bladen Community College.
