Students applying for admission to Greenfield Community College who have attended other post-secondary institutions must submit official transcripts from those institutions to the Office of Admission. Official transcripts are required if a student:

1. needs documentation of appropriate previous successful college course work for exemption from placement testing, or
2. intends to transfer credit toward a degree or certificate program at GCC, or
3. expects to enter one of GCC’s health occupation programs.

Transfer credit is generally given for those courses that are similar in content, level, and scope to courses offered at Greenfield Community College, and in which at least a C- grade has been earned.  Students must complete at least 25% of credits of coursework used to fulfill the requirements of the associate’s degree at GCC to receive a degree. To earn a certificate at GCC, students must complete at least 50% of the credit hours required for a certificate program at GCC—including at least three courses and 9 credits used to fulfill certificate requirements at GCC. Once transcripts have been received by GCC from another college, they are the property of GCC. Originals and copies cannot be given back to students.

Students are encouraged to review the courses that were and were not credited towards a particular degree requirement. Students who feel there has been an omission in the credit that was previously transferred or who want an evaluation done for a different GCC major from their current enrollment should request a transcript evaluation. If a student changes majors while at GCC a re-evaluation of transfer credit is done as part of the process.

Please note there are stricter standards for criminal justice programs.
