Transferring Credits

Do you have questions about Transfer Credits?

If you have questions about whether or not St. Cloud State University has received your transcript(s), please contact the Records and Registration Office at 320-308-5112.

Understanding Transfer Credits

The receiving college or university decides what credits to accept and whether those credits meet degree requirements. Baccalaureate degree programs usually count credits in three categories: general education, major or minor courses, and university electives.

The general education program will be considered complete if you have completed an Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree, the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC), or a Baccalaureate degree. Students transferring credits from a technical college generally will transfer in a maximum of 16 credits. If a student is transferring from a MnSCU Technical College, the MnTC courses will be accepted for full credit in addition to the 16 technical credits. Transfer of additional credits will be based on a case-by-case evaluation. All credits that are accepted into St. Cloud State University must be college level and a grade of “C-“ or higher, unless part of a completed A.A. degree or MnTC.

The transfer evaluation is based on the St. Cloud State University General Education program.

Transfer evaluators from the Records and Registration Office, who prepared the transfer evaluation worksheets, will also be available to answer questions. In some cases, further evaluation of your courses may be required by SCSU faculty in the corresponding department. It is recommended that you save the course materials from your classes, especially the syllabus, which will aid in the evaluation the course(s).

NOTE: Keep in mind if you have not had your most up-to-date transcript sent to SCSU then we will not have all of your classes.
