Transfer to a College/University

Students attending TSC for one or two years who major in an academic program of study and then transfer to a senior college or university should have no difficulty transferring credits if they:

  1. Select a major field of study at a college or university that offers a bachelor’s degree in that field.
  2. Review the selected institution’s college catalog and identify the freshman and sophomore courses suggested.

  3. See a TSC College Enrollment Coach for help in selecting the TSC courses that correspond to the requirements of the baccalaureate college to which the TSC student wishes to transfer.

  4. Complete the TSC courses with a grade point average of at least 2.0.

  5. Apply for admission to the baccalaureate college early in the last semester at TSC.

  6. Request the TSC Office of Admissions and Records send an official transcript to the transfer institution.

TSC has signed articulation agreements with several universities and is committed to establishing articulation agreements with other institutions as appropriate. Articulation agreements assure the student that courses taken at TSC in satisfaction of a given program of study  will be accepted for credit by the participating college or university, thus providing TSC students with dependable pathways to higher-level educational opportunities. Articulation agreements may include:

  • Joint Admissions Agreements,
  • Transfer Plans,
  • Transfer Guides for Specific Majors,
  • Core Curriculum Equivalences,
  • Course Equivalency Tables, and
  • Reverse Transfer Agreements.

Students are encouraged to visit the TSC Office of Academic Advising to find out which universities have these agreements and to gather information concerning institutions to which they intend to transfer, including university admissions requirements, degree program requirements, scholarships, housing, and university contact information. University admissions representatives and transfer advisors from select institutions are scheduled each semester to advise prospective transfer students at TSC.
