Transferring from Normandale Community College (NCC)
All transfer students following the AA with an Emphasis in Physics to Bachelor of Science in Physics Transfer Agreement must follow the admission process to be admitted to St. Cloud State University. Students must complete the entire sending program and meet graduation requirements at both institutions.
Courses listed below are listed on individual Transfer Agreements, additional courses will transfer according to currently determined transfer equivalencies.
This agreement is effective from 9/5/2019 through 9/4/2024.

**Equivalents or substitutions for these courses may be taken at the sending institution:
To be admitted to the BS in Physics major all students will have to complete the remaining requirements at SCSU:
Work with your advisor as well as SCSU Transfer Admissions to ensure requirements for each institution's program are being met. Refer to www.transferology.com for up-to-date information on course equivalencies.
The college and university shall work with students to resolve the transfer of courses should changes to either program occur while the agreement is in effect.
Our Transfer Admissions team specializes in providing a full-service, student-centered approach. No matter where you are starting from, they will be able to get you where you want to be.
