Transfer Credits

Under appropriate circumstances, students may be awarded academic credit for coursework completed at other institutions, or for other forms of training/education that are comparable to courses offered at Georgia Piedmont Technical College.

A student may receive credit for courses taken at another postsecondary institution if:

They apply and are admitted by Admissions;

They attended and took eligible course(s) at a regionally or nationally accredited postsecondary institution;

The course taken has essentially the same content and is taught at a comparable or higher level as the course at Georgia Piedmont Technical College;

An official transcript is on file in the student's admission file from post-secondary institutions attended;

The course has an equal or greater number of credit hours as the course at Georgia Piedmont Technical College;

A sealed official transcript has been submitted to the Office of the Registrar from any postsecondary institutions attended;

A grade of "C" or higher has been earned for the course to be transferred.

***Please note: Eligible transfer courses that have been awarded from other postsecondary institutions will not be computed in a student’s grade point average.

Review of transfer credits automatically occurs immediately, once official transcripts are received by the Office of the Registrar.

A grade of ("TR", TRB, or “TRC”) earned will be entered on the permanent record if credit is awarded.

All credits are visible in Banner Web and DegreeWorks within 1-3 business days. If students are not awarded any transfer credits, they are notified within 1-3 business days of receipt of official transcript.
