Transfer
Certificate and degree seeking students must submit official transcripts from all colleges or universities previously attended. Transcripts from other institutions submitted to VC become property of the College and are not reproduced and/or mailed to other institutions, agencies, or individuals. Students applying for financial aid must also submit official transcripts from each college or technical school previously attended.
Students who are not enrolling to complete a certificate or degree need to only submit an official transcript from the last school they attended.
An applicant for admission by transfer must be in good standing and eligible to register in the last college attended. If a transcript is received which shows academic suspension from the last school attended after the student has completed enrollment at Vernon College, the student will be subject to administrative withdrawal with forfeiture of tuition and fees.
In the event that a student is in a status of suspension from the last college attended, the Admissions Committee will review the matter upon receipt of a written petition from the applicant and make a decision on his/her admission. Applicants approved by the Admissions Committee will be admitted on probation.
Acceptance of Transfer Course Work. Normally, all college-level course work satisfactorily completed at a regionally accredited college or university will be accepted in transfer to Vernon College. The transferability of courses completed at a non-regionally accredited institution will be determined by the Director of Enrollment Management/Registrar with assistance from qualified faculty members.
A course-by-course evaluation of transfer work for students seeking a certificate or degree will be completed by the staff of the Admissions and Records Office and/or other appropriate college personnel. Notification of amount of credit transferred will be posted on the student’s Vernon College transcript as soon as his/her admission file is completed and evaluated, preferably prior to enrollment, but at the latest, prior to the end of his/her first semester of enrollment.
Note: Acceptance of transfer courses does not imply applicability to degree requirements. Degree applicability will be determined by a division chair, program director or coordinator, instructional administrator, and/or the Director of Enrollment Management/Registrar.
Failure to disclose the name of every college or university previously enrolled in without regard to whether credit was earned or not will be considered as an intentional omission and may result in disciplinary action including, but not limited to, administrative withdrawal with forfeiture of tuition and fees.
