Transferring Credits to FLCC

Students meeting with representatives from regional four-year colleges during a transfer event.

Learning takes place in and out of the classroom. Your previous studies, work or military experience, or test scores may count toward your education requirements. Your prior learning experience could mean that you'll reach your goals even faster.

Prior Learning Experience

You may have earned college credit in many ways. This includes advanced placement high school courses, pursuit of personal interests, travel, service in the armed forces, independent study, professional development, or work experience. Explore your options for transferring credits to FLCC for your prior learning experience.

If you are a new or returning student and have earned college credit from other institution(s), you must submit official college transcript(s) to the Admissions Office when you apply or re-activate your enrollment at FLCC. Once we receive your official transcripts, the Student Records Office will complete a transfer credit evaluation.

When you begin at FLCC, you'll get a credit evaluation showing how many transfer credits you've earned for your degree program.

What type of previous college credit will transfer?

Transfer credit is awarded from colleges and universities that are recognized by an appropriate accrediting agency, such as Middle States Commission on Higher Education, The American Council on Education (ACE), NYS Board of Regents, etc. College-level work completed at an accredited, degree-granting institution will be evaluated for applicable credit. Evaluation of credit appropriate for transfer is done on an individual basis. Grades of "C-" and higher are considered for transfer if the coursework meets degree requirements.

Grades for courses completed at other colleges and universities will not be used in computing your cumulative grade point average at FLCC.

What if I have questions about my transfer credit evaluation?

Contact the FLCC Student Records Office at (585)785-1675.

Credits may be accepted for transfer credit from non-accredited colleges and universities; evaluation for transfer credit will be made on a course-by-course basis.

Training that has been evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE) may be transferred as college credit based on ACE recommendations.

Individuals who have served in the military should submit a Joint Services transcript to the Admissions Office for evaluation. All military credit/experience is considered for possible transfer credit, based on its applicability to the individuals chosen degree program. ACE recommendations are used as a primary source of determination, but ACE recommendations are not required for consideration. DD214 forms will be evaluated for Health/Physical Education credit

Students may transfer college credits to FLCC that were earned through College Level Examination Program (CLEP) Subject or General Exams, Dantes Subject Standardized Tests (DSST), Excelsior College Exams (formerly Regents College Examinations), Departmental Challenge Examinations, and high school Advance Placement (AP). A maximum of 32 credit hours may be granted to a matriculated student through any combination of the above.

How can I apply my examination credit to my FLCC transcript?

If you have earned college credit through one of the examination methods above (except departmental exams), you must submit an official examination grade report to the Student Records Office for evaluation. If you have questions about the applicability of credit for a specific exam to a degree program, contact the Student Records Office.

Examination credit (except for Departmental Challenge Exams) is not included in the minimum of 32 credits that must be completed to earn an FLCC degree and is not used in calculating a student's grade point average.

FLCC utilizes the ACE (American Council on Education) recommendations for minimum score, number, and type of credits awarded, for these examination programs:

Departmental Challenge exams may be offered for college credit at the discretion of the individual department for any course that is not represented in the other approved examination programs. The exact nature of the examination is the responsibility of the academic department. If you are interested in taking a departmental examination, consult with the respective department chairperson.

Portfolio Review credit may be applied toward a degree program for knowledge gained through specific life experiences that result in learning outcomes equivalent to coursework at FLCC.

To receive credit through the Portfolio review process, students will provide substantive evidence that course learning outcomes have been achieved by completing a portfolio. Students must be matriculated before portfolio review occurs. In addition, students will be responsible for a fee as established by the Board of Trustees. The number of credits that can be earned in this manner is limited to twelve. Portfolio review credit is not counted toward residency requirements, is not used in calculating a student's grade point average, and is included in the maximum allowable transfer credit.

Interested students can contact the appropriate Department Chairperson for more information, and to obtain the Portfolio Proposal form.

Articulated Credit allows students to receive college credit for having completed programs that do not award college credit. Credit will only be given for the approved articulation agreements as given below and the credit is subject to the following conditions:

  1. Students must be matriculated before credit will be awarded.
  2. Articulated credit is not counted toward residency requirements.
  3. Articulated credit is included in the maximum allowable transfer credit.
  4. Articulated credit is not used in calculating a student's grade point average.
