Transcript RequirementsHigh school graduates are required to submit final official high school transcripts, proof of GED or home school affidavit to the Enrollment Services Centers or the Office of Admissions and Records at any CF campus or center. Transfer students are required to submit official transcripts from each institution that they have previously attended at the time that they apply or readmit to CF. To be considered official, transcripts may be either sent directly to CF from the issuing institution or be delivered in a sealed envelope sealed by the issuing institution. Official transcripts may be submitted to the Enrollment Services Centers or the Office of Admissions and Records at any CF campus or center. The Office of Admissions and Records will evaluate these transcripts and post all accepted transfer courses to the student’s permanent academic record. Transfer students are required to submit their final high school transcript, proof of GED or home school affidavit as well. Transfer students who do not have transcripts on file showing completion of college prep or college-level English and mathematics will be required to take a placement test. Students seeking the Associate in Science degree who possess an Associate in Arts or higher degree have already satisfied core requirements as listed in Academic Requirements. In Associate in Arts degree programs, all academic work (1000 and 2000–level) transfers in as well as some 3000-level courses (depending on course content). In the cases where the content is the same, the burden of proof is on the student to provide official course outlines or syllabi. Upper division courses (4000, 5000, 6000 and 7000–level) are not applicable to the degree. Any questions regarding transcript evaluation must be resolved with the Office of Admissions and Records. Transfer students from nonregionally accredited institutions. CF does not ordinarily accept transfer credits from institutions not accredited by a regional accrediting agency unless that institution is participating in an articulation agreement with the state of Florida or CF. However, each transcript will be considered on an individual basis. The course work accepted must represent collegiate coursework relevant to the degree, with course content and level of instruction resulting in student competencies at least equivalent to those of students enrolled in CF’s degree programs. It is the student’s responsibility to provide the following information to the Admissions Committee on a course-by-course basis if they wish for CF to consider awarding credit for courses that were not transferred during their initial evaluations. The student must:
All documents must be provided before the request will be considered by the Admissions Committee. Upon receipt of the document, the Admissions Committee will review all evidence provided and make a final determination on the transferability of each course. International transfer students with course work from outside of the United States must submit certified original official high school diplomas or certified high school transcripts showing subjects and grades earned, as well as dates of completion. Official transcripts from any postsecondary school(s) attended must be provided. An evaluation from a foreign credentials agency (approved by CF) is required for all postsecondary coursework taken outside of the United States. Both official transcripts in the native language, as well as English translations are required in addition to the foreign credentials evaluation. Any translation, evaluation or testing fees are the student’s responsibility. Transient students must submit a transient form showing good standing from the last institution attended prior to registering at CF. The transient form must also list those courses in which the student wishes to enroll, as well as their residency status for tuition purposes. Failure to have all transcripts on file will prohibit the student from registering the following semester. |
