Transferring Guidelines

Standard Criteria for Acceptance

SLCC accepts college level credit in transfer from defined regionally accredited colleges and universities.
- Exceptions to this rule are sometimes made by academic programs for credit applied to that specific program – see petition for credit.
Grades in individual classes must be C- or higher to be eligible for transfer credit, except in cases where a grade of C or above is required at SLCC as a prerequisite.
Courses must be college level (rather than remedial or developmental). At Utah institutions, this usually means courses numbered 1000 or above.

General Education (GE) equivalency – The course must be designated as a related SLCC "general education" requirement by the issuing institution (i.e., Humanities) or must be equivalent to a current GE course in the SLCC catalog.
Religion courses which advocate the doctrine of a particular sect or denomination will not be accepted.
To be eligible for graduation from SLCC, students must take 25% of required coursework/credits directly from Salt Lake Community College.
Coursework that is not applicable to SLCC GE or degree requirements may transfer as elective credit only.
All credit accepted will be recorded as part of a student's academic history. Once transfer credit is applied to your transcript, it may not be removed. Some exceptions may include a lapse in attendance that requires re-application, new transcript submission, and/or a re-evaluation of credit. Credits may need to be updated if the initial evaluation of credits is not applied toward a degree within two years.
Coursework that has not been previously or recently reviewed may need to be forwarded to the appropriate academic department for further evaluation. On occasion, students may be required to provide a syllabus from the term listed on the official transcript.
Graduate-level coursework is not applicable at SLCC.
