Transfer Students

You are considered a transfer student if you attended another college or university before coming to GCC and want to have course work evaluated for transfer to a GCC degree or certificate program.

Transfer credit is generally given for those courses in which at least a C- grade has been earned, and that are similar in content, level, and scope to courses offered at Greenfield Community College. An evaluation of transfer credit is based on the student's academic major at GCC. Any change of major in the future will require a re-evaluation of this transfer credit. A student must earn a minimum of 15 credits at GCC to be eligible to receive an associate's degree.

Other options are available for earning transfer credit; please see our official transfer and alternative credit policies.
