Transferring Credits from CLC

Steps for CLC Students Transferring to Another School

1. Discuss transfer plans with a CLC advisor upon admission to CLC.
2. Utilize CLC’s Career & Transfer Center.
3. Review transfer options.
   Many four-year colleges and universities accept a significant number of credits from CLC, making the pursuit of a bachelor’s degree affordable, accessible and convenient for CLC graduates.

Several options are available to assist you on your educational journey:

• Transfer Pathway Degrees are designed so you can complete a specific associate degree at Central Lakes College and transfer to a Minnesota State university to earn a bachelor’s degree without losing credits or take extra courses.
• Associate of Arts and Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC)
• Create an account at Transferologyto learn how your credits will transfer.

4. Research various colleges and universities to determine admissions criteria, costs, transfer of credit, timelines, transfer scholarships, etc.
   • For specific questions, contact the admissions office at those colleges and universities.
   • Visit with 4-year college and university representatives.
     • Minnesota State
     • University of Minnesota
     • Minnesota Private Colleges
5. Your transfer college will need an official CLC transcript to transfer in credits. Minnesota State Colleges and Universities have the ability to retrieve your CLC e-transcript so you do not need to request an official CLC transcript. If you are transferring outside of the Minnesota State College and University System, request your official CLC transcript.
6. Your transfer college may require course information such as a course outline or course syllabus to review your course for equivalency or degree applicability. Central Lakes College encourages you keep these documents in a safe place to share on your educational journey.
