1. Students must have each of their former higher education institutions send – by mail or electronically – an official transcript directly to the Gila Community College Administration office. A student may also hand-deliver sealed official transcripts to the Records and Registration office.
2. Appropriate Records and Registration office staff will evaluate official student transcripts, determine the applicability of credit earned at other institutions of higher education, and will record accepted transfer credits on the student’s transcript.
3. Students may receive transfer credit for courses in which they received a grade of “C” or better. Developmental coursework below 100-level may be accepted for the purpose of fulfilling course prerequisites. However, developmental course credit will not apply toward a Gila Community College degree or certificate.
4. When the transfer courses are determined to be equivalent or similar to Gila Community College courses, students will receive credit for the equivalent Gila Community College courses. Courses that are determined to not be equivalent or similar to Gila Community College courses will transfer as elective credit.
5. Transfer credit from non-accredited post-secondary institutions may also be accepted if such credits represent equivalent or higher-level work at Gila Community College.

Transfer coursework is not calculated in Gila Community College’s student grade point average.

Accredited higher education institutions are those fully accredited through the U.S. Department of Education Accrediting Agencies.
