IV. J. Articulation and Transfer

Previous education or experience in the field in which a student is presently studying may be evaluated to provide advanced placement in class or allow the student to exempt certain subject areas.  Courses will be evaluated and considered on an individual basis.

Credits previously earned at North Georgia Technical College may be used to satisfy course requirements should students re-enroll provided the subject matter is equivalent to the requirements of the program.

TRANSFER CREDIT

Ordinarily, institutions from which credits are transferred must be accredited by a regional accrediting association.  Credit will be given on a course equivalent basis.  In some instances where course equivalency is questioned, credit must be validated by examination.  Official transcripts are required from all postsecondary institutions verifying a minimum grade of “C” in all courses for which the student is seeking transfer credit to his/her program of study.

Residence Requirements for Degree/Diploma

In order to obtain a diploma from North Georgia Technical College, a student must complete at least 25% of the curriculum requirements in regular credit course work while enrolled as a NGTC student.  

ARTICULATED CREDIT

Secondary articulated credit will be transferred according to the Statewide Articulation Guide or additional written agreements with secondary schools.  Secondary credit from schools where there is no written agreement will be evaluated in terms of the specific curriculum.  This determination will be made by the Admissions Office, Office of Academic Affairs, and the Registrar’s Office.  No tuition fees will be charged for secondary articulated credit.  (See 04-03-15).

Courses in degree programs which are articulated will require validation by testing at NGTC before credit is awarded.   

MILITARY TRAINING CREDIT

North Georgia Technical College may award credit for training received in the Armed Forces.  The training should be certified by the Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services, published by the American Council on Education, or by the official catalog of the Community College of the Air Force or some similar document, and approved by the Registrar.

EXEMPTION CREDIT

Exempted credit for other reasons must be based on a formal competency or credential evaluation.  A fee per credit hour will be charged for the formal evaluation.  The competency evaluation may be a combination of written and/or performance examinations.  Exemption credit will be awarded following a satisfactory evaluation.  Courses may also be satisfied through documented CLEP or AP tests with official transcripts of grades with a grade equivalent of "C" or better.
