Transfer of Credit

Transfer of Credit

Prospective students may request a transfer credit evaluation prior to enrolling in a program at Martinsburg College.

Individuals will need to submit official transcripts for all coursework in which they are seeking transfer credit. Students may transfer credits from an institution accredited by an agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

Military-affiliated students may submit Joint Services Transcripts, Coast Guard College, and/or Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) transcripts for evaluation. Martinsburg College recognizes and awards credit recommended for military experiences in the American Council on Education (ACE) Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services, as applicable for the program of study. In addition to an institutional setting and courses/training offered by the military, other such programs recognized by the American Council on Education’s Center for Adult Learning and Education Credentials program will be considered for transfer credit. Credits may also be earned through examinations including the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) Subject Standardized Testing (DSST), the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces (ALEKS), and Excelsior College Exams. In addition, Martinsburg College awards credit for widely accepted industry certifications that relate to a student’s program of study.

Tuition fees will be adjusted based on the number of credits transferred into the program.
