Transferring credits from online courses at Pima Community College?

I've taken some online courses at Pima Community College. Can these credits be transferred to another institution, and how can I find out which colleges accept them?

The process of transferring credits varies by institution, but there are a few general steps you can take to find out if your credits from Pima Community College can be transferred.

First, you'll need to make sure the course taken is college level and doesn't fall under developmental/remedial coursework category. Most colleges often won't be accept such credits.

Next, you'll want to check the prospective university's policy on transferring credits. This information is typically found on the university's Registrar or Admissions website. If not clearly mentioned, don't hesitate to reach out to the admissions office. They can provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information.

It's also important to know whether your prospective college accepts credits from regionally accredited institutions, and whether Pima Community College (PCC) holds such accreditation. PCC is indeed accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, a regional Accreditation body. So, a school that accepts credits from regionally accredited institutions would likely accept credits from PCC.

Many schools will also want to see the syllabus or detailed course outline from the courses you took at Pima, to see if the content matches with a comparable course at the prospective school.

Lastly, they'll be considering the grade you received in the course. Generally, a grade of C or better is needed for a course to be considered for transfer.

Keep in mind, even if the credits do transfer, they might not necessarily apply towards your intended major. They might instead count as general elective credits.

The best course of action would be to connect with an advisor at the institution you are looking to transfer to, as they can provide the most accurate guidance.
