Special Transfer
Information
Degree-Seeking
Students Transferring Credits To Montgomery College Students who have earned college credit for courses at other institutions
and who intend to earn a certificate or degree at Montgomery College
may receive transfer credit. Transcripts may be mailed from the sending
institutions to any of the campus Admissions, Records, and Registration
offices. If a transcript is hand-carried, it should be in a sealed
envelope. Transcripts are evaluated only for degree-seeking students
at MC. Hand carried unofficial transcripts or grade reports may be
used by advisors for advising purposes.
Students
From Other Colleges Transferring Credits From Montgomery College
Submit an application if you have not previously applied to Montgomery
College. There is a one-time application fee of $25.
Submit
documentation from your home institution showing that you have
fulfilled the prerequisites(s) indicated in the current Montgomery
College Catalog for the course(s) you wish to take. As proof of
fulfillment, students may submit a “Permission to Enroll”
form from their institution. The form must specify the course(s)
the student may take at Montgomery College; this will enable the
College to waive the requirements for prerequisite checks and/or
assessment tests. The “Permission to Enroll” form
will also assure that the course listed will be transferable back
to the home institution.
Documentation
from the home institution may be faxed to the Records and Registration
Office on the campus you plan to attend: (240) 567-7815, Germantown;
(240) 567-5037, Rockville; (240) 567-1497, Takoma Park/Silver
Spring. You may also mail documentation to Montgomery College,
Office of Admissions, 20200 Observation Drive, Germantown, MD
20876.
To assist students in smooth transfer, Montgomery College and many colleges
and universities have developed articulation agreements. These agreements
detail curricula and policies that permit students to undertake associate's
degrees at Montgomery College and complete bachelor's degrees at a four-year
institution without loss of credit. Schools with which Montgomery College
maintains articulation agreements include the University of Maryland
System, Howard University, Trinity College, George Washington University,
Johns Hopkins University School of Continuing Studies, Catholic University
Metropolitan College, Rensselaer Plytechnic Institute, Middlebury College,
and Hood College. Recently, Montgomery College and Hood College signed
a unique agreement that will allow students to complete an associate's
degree at Montgomery College and bachelor's and master's degree at Hood
in five years of full-time study. Some Montgomery College students may
be eligible to enroll for one course free of charge at Hood College.
If you have
questions about these agreements, please call the Records and Registration
Office at (240) 567-5034 or Career/Transfer centers at Germantown (301)
353-7772; Rockville (240) 567-5062; and Takoma Park/Silver Spring, (301)
