Transfer Students Phillips Community College accepts the transfer-in of college credits when both of the following conditions are satisfied.

1. The credits were earned at a postsecondary institution having regional accreditation authorized to award the associate degree.
    
2. The course credits being transferred are applicable for satisfying a requirement in the PCCUA program of study being pursued by the student.
    
3. The grade earned is a C or higher.

In some cases, credits may be accepted from institutions having special professional accreditation. Such special accreditation must be at a level which is commonly recognized as setting the professional standards for certification or licensing in the profession.

In those cases where there is a question about the acceptability of credits earned at any other institution, PCCUA shall follow the policy of the major state university in the home state of that institution. (If that university would accept the credits in question, as a general rule, so will PCCUA).

Special Students Any course that is offered for which a student is eligible may be taken by the student. A student on credit status or a student who is entering and is eligible for credit status may elect at the time of registration to enroll on an audit basis. Students enrolled on an audit basis will receive a grade of AU and cannot receive college credit.

The tuition and fees for credit courses taken on an audit basis are the same as they would be on a credit basis.

All of this may be done in a relatively short time period. (The Financial Aid and Scholarship process need to be started in advance of registration. )
