Minnesota State Board Policy
Minnesota State System Procedure
Students who have attended other post-secondary institutions must have official college transcripts sent to Alexandria Technical and Community College (ATCC) directly from all other colleges attended. The ATCC Registrar’s Office will gather official transcripts (if available) from all Minnesota State institutions electronically. Transfer courses will not impact the student’s ATCC cumulative GPA. In some cases, students may be asked to provide additional information on course content, (e.g. course descriptions, course outlines, or faculty credentials) for the course to be reviewed. ATCC will award transfer credit under the following conditions:
Note: If a course from a non-regionally accredited institution is accepted to fulfill a degree requirement at ATCC, this does NOT guarantee that another college will also accept the course in transfer.
Transcripts will be evaluated as they are received. Electronic transcripts (e-transcripts) will be available and collected once students apply for admission at ATCC. ATCC transcript evaluator(s) will make effort to update in-progress transfer coursework
prior to student Registration & Advising Days. However, it is ultimately the student’s responsibility to ensure their credit transfer is up to date as the ATCC designee may not know about transfer coursework taken after the initial transfer
evaluation.
If a student does not agree with a transfer of credit decision, the Student Appeal Process is in place for them to appeal the decision.
Transfer appeal steps:
In order for the MnTC Curriculum completed notation to be coded on an ATCC transcript, the student must ensure all credit transfer is up to date by referring to the SMNTC audit available in their e-services account, and have a minimum cumulative MnTC GPA of 2.0. GPA calculations include all transfer courses with a grade of D or higher for the MnTC.
The ATCC Registrar’s office will process the MnTC completion query after the beginning of each semester.
