Follow the steps below to earn transfer credit for non-WCTC courses:

Apply to WCTC

Apply for admission to one of WCTC's programs.

Send Transcripts

Request official transcripts from each previous institution you attended. Transcripts must be sent directly to the WCTC Admissions Office by mail or electronically. Transcripts sent to you first, even unopened, are considered unofficial unless sealed. Once you apply to a program and send your official transcripts, your coursework will be evaluated.

International Coursework

  • International coursework must be evaluated by a NACES-approved credentialing agency.
  • Only course-by-course evaluations are accepted.
  • You must complete a placement assessment before your international credits can be evaluated for transfer.
  • Insitutions must be formally recognized by the country's ministry of education or equivalent.

You will receive an email one to two weeks after we receive your transcripts. Once admitted, view transfer credits and how they apply to your program in DegreeWorks using your WCTC username and password.
