Does anyone know how many credits Glendale Community College typically accepts for transfers? I'm trying to plan my courses and want to make sure I don't waste any credits.
Glendale Community College (GCC) generally adheres to the transfer credit policy of the Maricopa County Community College District, which of which it's a part. The policy is quite flexible and students can earn up to a maximum of 64 credit hours from a combination of transferable college-level courses.
However, the exact number of credits that can be transferred to GCC can vary depending on several factors:
1. The institution from which you've earned the credits. Normally, credits from regionally accredited colleges and universities are accepted.
2. The type of course: Not all courses are transferable. General education and major-specific courses usually transfer without issue, but vocational or developmental courses often do not.
3. The grade you earned. Usually, you'll need to have earned a grade of 'C' or better in a course for it to be eligible for transfer.
Remember that even if GCC accepts your transfer credits, not all credits may be applicable to your chosen program of study at GCC.
I'd recommend connecting with an academic adviser at GCC or the school's admissions office to help plan and maximize your transfer credits. They can provide the most accurate, personalized advice based on your specific situation and academic goals.
