Transfer credit may be awarded for
course work completed at an accredited institution of higher education.
A grade of "C" or better achieved in courses that are comparable to ones
offered in the student's proposed program at KVCC may be transferred.
Grades earned in the transferred course(s) are not computed in the grade
point average. It is the student's responsibility to have "Official"
transcript(s) forwarded to the Registrar's office. Additional
documentation may be required.
Any course taken at KVCC prior to
matriculation into a specific program will transfer into the program as
long as the course meets the requirements and the grade required for
that program. This grade is computed in the cumulative grade point
average.

A student must earn a minimum of 25
percent of his/her diploma or degree credits in residence. A specific
program may require a greater percentage of credits to be earned in
residence. When a decision regarding transferability of credits is
unacceptable, the student may appeal, in writing, to the Academic Dean.
AGE OF ACCEPTABLE TRANSFER CREDITS
In general,
courses taken within the past 10 years are reviewed. Courses taken
more than 10 years ago may require additional documentation in order
for transfer credit review to occur. The final decision regarding the
acceptance of transfer credit(s) rests with Kennebec Valley Community
College.
Students desiring to transfer credits earned at
Kennebec Valley Community College to another post-secondary school can expect to be
evaluated on an individual basis by that institution. Transfer of
credits from KVCC to another school/college rests with the receiving
institution.
