Transferring to NCTC is a very easy process!  The following are steps toward acceptance as a Transfer Student to Northland Community and Technical College. 

1. Submit your college application and $20.00 fee as early as possible.

2. Have an official copy of your high school transcript or GED sent directly to the college.

3. If you received any Advanced Placement or college credit while still in high school, find out from your high school counselor which college granted those credits and request an official transcript from that college.  (We can not grant college credit for a course that is on a high school transcript, even though it was taken as a college course. It must be on a college transcript. )

4. If you were granted any special certificates that you think may be equivalent to college credits, bring the original certificates, licenses, or cards with you.   This could include, but is not limited to, Tech Prep, C.N.A., First Aid/CPR for Health Care Providers,  EMT-B, LPN.

5. Request an official copy of your transcripts from every college or university you have attended sent to the campus of your choice listed on the front of this brochure.  We can not grant credit for transferred courses taken from another college transcript even though they may be clearly stated.

6. If you have served in the military,  credits will be evaluated when the college receives a transcript from the American Council on Education, (ACE), from the appropriate service branch.  Transcripts can be ordered from www.Acenet.edu  under “Programs and Services”.  For more information, contact the Transfer Specialist on either campus.

7. Your credits will be evaluated by a Transfer Specialist on your campus of choice after all your official transcripts have been received.

8. Courses will transfer to NCTC if:
        A) You received a “D” grade or better, and
        B)  Are from a regionally accredited college or university. 

This means that all courses that fulfill the above criteria will transfer into NCTC and will show up on your NCTC transcript.  No report will be mailed to you.  After you have been accepted and registered for classes, you will be able to view your transfer credits through the student registration window and will also be included in your DARS audit.
