Transcript Evaluation

In order to have your official transcript(s) evaluated:

You must be accepted to the College and have a declared major (degree or certificate program).

Request an official transcript from the registrars of all institutions or the military that you previously attended from which you wish to transfer credit.

Submit the official transcript(s) to MassBay for Transfer Credit Evaluation in one of three ways:

1. Have transcript(s) mailed (in a sealed envelope) to:

   MassBay Community College
   Office of the Registrar
   50 Oakland Street
   Wellesley Hills, MA 02481-5307

2. Drop off official transcript(s) in a sealed envelope to either the Wellesley Hills or Framingham campus at the Office of the Registrar.
3. Have transcript(s) sent electronically from previous institution/school to the Office of the Registrar (registrar@massbay.edu)

Once courses have been officially approved and transferred, they will appear on your MassBay transcript, and you will also receive a letter from the Advising Center informing you which of your course credits transferred in.

We recommend students submit their official transcript(s) at least six (6) weeks prior to the time that you wish to register for upcoming classes. This will help ensure your credit is evaluated and posted to your record and assist course registration.

• MassBay only accepts transfer credit from regionally accredited colleges or universities.
• MassBay accepts military credit from the American Council on Education as it applies to your choice of major.
• Credits may be transferred in only if they apply to your current major on record and/or fulfill requirements in the MassTransfer Block.
• You must have earned a grade of “C-” or better in the course(s) for which you are requesting transfer credit.
• MassBay will not accept Pass/Fail coursework for transfer credit.
• A maximum of 75% of the total credits within the degree or certificate program may be earned by transfer credit.
• Transferred Science and Computer Science courses must have been taken within the last five (5) years.
• Foreign documents must be translated and evaluated by a credible agency, such as the Center for Educational Documentation (http://www.cedevaluations.com).
• Credit that is accepted according to general college policy is not necessarily acceptable for specific programs of study. This is particularly true in instances where program transfer limits and/or minimum grade requirements are in effect, such as the health professions programs.
• The College reserves the right to refuse recognition for courses that were taken more than ten years prior to the date that students apply for transfer.
• Coursework must be represented in credit hours (clock hours will not be converted to MassBay credit hours).
