University Transfer Guide
Transfer Credit Policies
Students planning to transfer credit from York Technical College to other post-secondary institutions are responsible for confirming the transferability of courses with those institutions.
Students planning to transfer courses from other post-secondary institutions to York Technical College must adhere to the following guidelines:
- Students must have official transcripts of completed courses from post-secondary institutions attended sent to the College.
- Course credit must have been earned at a post-secondary institution accredited at the college level by a nationally recognized regional accrediting agency or by a nationally recognized health accrediting agency for hospital-based transfer credit. Coursework completed at either hospital or college-sponsored accredited radiologic technology programs that are recognized by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology is eligible for consideration.
- To receive transfer credit in a program, a course must be required or approved as an elective in the curriculum being entered.
- A grade of "C" or better must have been earned in each course to be considered for transfer.
- Course credits being transferred must have been earned within the last 12 years unless a degree or diploma was earned. Shorter course eligibility time limits may apply to selected courses in certain programs.
- Credit for the courses to be transferred must show on an official transcript from the granting institution.
- Credits transferred from other institutions may not exceed 75 percent of the total credits required by York Technical College for graduation.
- Courses transferred into a curriculum must have equivalent or greater credits and be comparable to York Technical College courses which are required or approved as electives in the curriculum. These courses will be assigned a grade of "TR" and will not be calculated in the grade-point ratio (GPR.)
New students eligible to receive transfer credit must enroll within two semesters of the time the credit is approved. Currently enrolled or former students may transfer credit back to York Technical College to graduate as long as the Transfer Credit and graduation guidelines are met.
