(Adopted by Executive Council, May 8, 1987; Revised November 27, 1990, September 21, 2015)
In most cases, earned credit for college course work completed at Cape Cod Community College, or transferred from any regionally accredited institution of higher education with a grade of C- or better (except where indicated in certain course prerequisites), may be applied toward satisfying a degree requirement.
Students may fulfill prerequisites by transferring equivalent college credit as defined above with a grade of C- or better. Prerequisites will not be deemed met with lower than C-.
In certain courses, where a program or department requires that current knowledge is essential, a time limit may be imposed on the applicability of earned credit toward satisfying a degree requirement; such a time limit must be approved by the Curriculum and Programs Committee, and must be indicated in the College catalog. If the designated time limit has been exceeded, credit will be granted only if:
- the student successfully passes a CLEP test for the course or, in the absence of a CLEP test, passes a Department Challenge Examination; or
- the student submits a waiver request and receives approval for the credit in question from the appropriate department.
