Incoming Transfer Credit

In order for incoming transfer credits from other colleges and universities to be applied to a degree or certificate at WVC and to get entered into the WVC system, students must submit a Credit Evaluation Request form.

If you are a current WVC student and/or you have transfer-in credit that has already been evaluated by WVC, you can login to your ctcLink account to use the Degree Progress tool to see how your credits have been applied toward your degree requirements and to see how close you are to finishing your degree and what credits you have left to take. For detailed instructions, visit www.wvc.edu/DegreeProgress.

Instructions

If a student has attended other colleges or universities, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that Official Transcripts are sent directly to WVC from all other colleges and/or universities that are to be considered in the evaluation before requesting an evaluation.

To request an Official Transfer Credit Evaluation, complete the appropriate evaluation request form and submit it to the transcript evaluator in the Admissions/Registration Office:

Evaluation requests will be processed upon the student's enrollment at WVC and cannot be completed until all official transcripts are on file.

When an evaluation is being done, credits from WVC will be evaluated first, then any transfer credits from other colleges (if accepted), and then any non-traditional (non-graded) credits.

Due to the large volume of requests, please allow up to 6 to 8 weeks for evaluations to be processed. Completed evaluations will be emailed to the student's preferred email address and a copy will be sent to the student's WVC faculty adviser. Questions can be sent to TranscriptEvals@wvc.edu.

WVC can do an evaluation with unofficial transcripts for advising purposes, but you must have an official copy of these transcripts on file if you want to use credits from other colleges or universities toward a degree or certificate at WVC.

Transfer Credits

A maximum of 60 credits from regionally accredited colleges and universities may be applied toward a WVC degree, meeting either requirements or electives, at the discretion of the credential evaluator, dean, or program adviser. The following is a list of those organizations that grant regional accreditation in the United States:

Middle States Association of Colleges & Schools Middle States Commission on Higher Education
New England Association of Schools & Colleges Commission on Institutions of Higher Education
New England Association of Schools & Colleges Commission on Technical & Career Institutions
North Central Association of Colleges & Schools The Higher Learning Commission
Northwest Commission on Colleges & Universities
Southern Association of Colleges & Schools Commission on Colleges
Western Association of Schools & Colleges Accrediting Commission for Community Colleges
Western Association of Schools & Colleges Accrediting Commission for Senior Universities

Up to 15 credits of restricted elective may be accepted from schools whose curriculum has been evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE).

Transfer credit is not awarded for the following types of coursework: (1) courses taken at colleges that are not regionally accredited, (2) non-credit courses and workshops, (3) remedial or college preparatory courses (i.e. - student orientation classes), (4) sectarian religious studies.

Transfer courses with less than a D grade (or 1.0) can not be used to satisfy a graduation requirement.

Upper division courses (usually numbered 300-400) will only be applied toward a degree distribution area if a similar course exists at Wenatchee Valley College. The credit evaluator may allow some other upper division courses to be used as restricted electives, depending on the nature of the course work.

Credits from semester schools are multiplied by 1.5 to convert them to quarter credits. For example, 2 semester credits = 3 quarter credits, and 3 semester credits = 4.5 quarter credits.

Wenatchee Valley College encourages flexibility, innovation and independent study in the educational process. Nontraditional credit programs allow you to earn credit outside of the classroom setting. The following are types of nontraditional credit accepted at WVC:

College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
