Non-Traditional Education

Credits from non-traditional education sources are accepted if approved by the appropriate academic department's faculty.

Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB)

Earned credits from AP and IB examinations are considered for transfer.

Grade Requirements

Generally, grades of C- (1.67 on a 4.0 scale) or better will be considered for transfer (except where indicated in specific course prerequisites).

Credit Conversion

Credits earned at other institutions will be accepted in accordance with the college's established course credit equivalencies. If the transferring institution uses a different credit system, our Registrar will convert the credits accordingly.

Time Limit for Transfer Credits

In most cases, there's no time limit for accepting credits from regionally accredited institutions. However, for certain courses requiring current knowledge, a time limit may apply and will be indicated in the college catalog. If the time limit is exceeded, credit may still be granted under the following circumstances:

• The student successfully passes a CLEP test for the course or takes a departmental Challenge Examination.
• The student submits a waiver request and receives approval from the appropriate department.

Minimum Completion at 4Cs

To earn a degree from 4Cs, a minimum of 24 credits must be completed at Cape Cod Community College.
