Transfer Credit from Colleges and Universities: Students may transfer credits from other regionally accredited colleges into a Central Maine Community College catalog program provided they earn a grade of C (not C-) or better, and that the credits are relevant to the CMCC degree program. To apply, students must contact other colleges they have attended and arrange for official transcripts and course descriptions to be sent to Central Maine Community College's Registrar (or the Admissions Office if you are applying to attend in a program of study). Students who are transferring courses within CMCC may transfer any course applicable to the new major program of study along with all the grades they previously earned. The student's Academic Advisor, Program Chairperson and the Registrar will work with the student to insure an appropriate transition.

Note: Students requesting Veteran's Educational Assistance are required to have all previous post-secondary educational experience evaluated for possible transfer credit in order to be eligible for benefits.

Transfer Credit to Colleges and Universities: Because Central Maine Community College is accredited by the New England Association of Schools & Colleges, Inc., most academic credits will transfer to other colleges and universities. Liberal Arts (general education) courses usually transfer more easily than technical courses. It is important to note that the receiving school has the right to determine whether or not academic credit will transfer. Central Maine Community College has direct transfer agreements with the University of Southern Maine, Lewiston-Auburn College of the University of Southern Maine, the University of Maine (in Orono), and other University of Maine campuses and other Maine Community Colleges. These agreements facilitate transfer of graduates from Central Maine Community College to the senior institutions and assures that students will be accepted with advanced standing and that their Central Maine Community College degree course work will apply toward the Baccalaureate Degree.

For specific information regarding transfer of credit, the student should consult the Office of Career and Placement Services and with representatives at the institution to which he/she wishes to transfer.
