Students who have attended other institutions of higher
education may choose to transfer credit to Clark College to
meet degree requirements. Although there is no limit on the
number of credits that can transfer into the college, students
must meet the
academic residency requirements for their
program.
The Credential Evaluations Office will review the content of
each course transferred and determine the appropriate
course equivalency. Typically, transfer equivalency information
is recorded on the DegreeWorks system within one
quarter of official transcript receipt.
Students with credits from international institutions of education
may submit their academic records for credit consideration.
The amount of credit awarded will vary, based on
the individual record of the student. Clark College does not
recognize English coursework completed in countries outside
of the United States, with the exception of: Australia,
Canada (except Quebec province), New Zealand and the
United Kingdom.
Clark College requires the student to provide the following items:
- Official copy of original transcript or academic record
- English translation of the academic record from an agency by Clark College
- Evaluation of the academic record from an agency approved by Clark College
The cost of the agency services are the responsibility of the
student. Clark College accepts reports from agencies that
are a member of the National Association of Credential
Evaluation Services. A current list of members can be
