Transfer your previous college credits
If you attended another college before applying to MCTC, you should have an official transcript sent to the Office of the Registrar so that your transcript can be evaluated.
If you previously attended a Minnesota State College and University (MnSCU) school you do not have to have an official copy sent to MCTC. We are able to access your MnSCU transcript electronically.
MCTC will evaluate your transcript after an official copy has been received by the College and you have registered for classes at MCTC.
Transcript evaluation procedures
To get your previous transcript evaluated, follow these steps:
- When you apply to MCTC, arrange to have official transcripts of all previously attended U.S. colleges and vocational schools sent to the Office of the Registrar.
- Transcripts are evaluated in the order they are received.
- Following evaluation, MCTC will record the number of credits accepted and note it on your transcript (the MCTC course equivalencies will be recorded on your DARS report).
- You can access your degree audit via e-Services by logging in with your MCTC ID and password.
- You can use U.select, an online advising tool, to review how your courses may transfer to MCTC.
- To discuss your transfer evaluation and how it relates to your academic program make an appointment with a counselor or advisor.
- If you have a college transcript from outside the U.S., you must also submit it to an evaluation agency such as Educational Credential Evaluators and request that a course by course evaluation be submitted to the Office of the Registrar.
- If the transcript is not in English, the document must be translated into English by the evaluation agency or a certified, literal translation must be provided.
