Transferring Credits to MCC

Students who wish to transfer credits from another college to MCC must provide official transcripts from previously attended institutions and have a declared program of study with MCC.

You can send a transcript to the MCC Registrar's Office by:

  • U.S. Mail: MCC Registrar's Office, PO Box 3777, Omaha, NE 68103
  • In-Person Delivery: at the MCC Registrar's Office, Fort Omaha Campus, Building 5. Your transcript must be in a sealed college envelope
  • Electronically: Only through a third-party electronic transcript provider (e.g., Parchment, Scrip-Safe, National Student Clearinghouse, etc.), to the following address: transcripts@mccneb.edu.

All courses pertaining to the declared program of study will be evaluated. If you would like to have specific courses transferred in, which do not pertain to your major, you must notify the Registrar’s Office by completing the Transcript Re-Evaluation/Specific Course Evaluation Request (student login required).

  • Once courses have been brought in and transcribed, they cannot be removed and will remain on the permanent record.
  • Transfer credits are not calculated into the student’s GPA.
  • Due to regular updates to certain courses, non-MCC courses will only be accepted if they have been taken within a specific time limit:
    • HDIM 2421, HDIM 2431 and HDIM 2432 - courses must have been taken within three years of the current catalog year.
    • INFO 1001 - course must have been taken within five years of the current catalog year.
    • INFO 1001- is a requirement for all Information Technology programs of study.

  1. Institution must be regionally accredited by one of the following agencies:
  • Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE)
  • New England Commission on Higher Education (NECHE)
  • The Higher Learning Commission (HLC)
  • Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU)
  • Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC)
  • Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC)
  • WASC Senior Colleges and Universities Commission (WSCUC)
  1. Course content must be similar to an MCC course;
  2. Grade of C or better must have been received;
  3. Credit hours should be equal;

When course credit hours are not equal, students may have to take additional courses to meet MCC degree requirements.Example: ACCT 120 (6 credits) from the Sunshine College has been equated to MCC’s ACCT 1100/ACCT 1110 (4.5 credits each, total 9 credits) but will be posted as ACCT 1100/ACCT 1110 with 3 credits each to match the original number of credits the student completed (6.0 credits). 3 credit shortage can be covered by extra credits in any other section or by taking an additional course to fulfill overall credit hours requirement for a program.

You may request a Transcript Re-Evaluation (student login required) if you changed to another program of study or wish specific courses to be reviewed again.

International transcripts sent to MCC must first be evaluated and interpreted by any one of the current members of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services. A course-by-course evaluation must be requested from these organizations, and the official report must be sent directly to the MCC Registrar's Office. International transcripts will also be reviewed under MCC transcript evaluation guidelines and policies.

MCC credit is awarded for some general education courses to students who have an official transcript on file in the Registrar's Office, noting conferred bachelor’s, master’s, juris doctor, or doctoral degrees from a regionally, accredited American institution. Qualifying students will receive full credit for associate of applied science general education requirements.

Important: Some programs have specific requirements for general education courses. In such cases a transcript will be evaluated on a course-by-course basis. Consult your advisor to see which general education credits you may be eligible to receive.

Communication (GEN_COMM) 4.5 credit hrs.
Quantitative/Numeracy Skills (GEN_QUANT) 4.5 credit hrs.
Critical Thinking/Creativity & Social/Cultural Awareness (GEN_SOC) 4.5 credit hrs.
Scientific Inquiry (GEN_SCIEN) 4.5 credit hrs.
Professionalism/Life Skills and Information Literacy (GEN_PROF) 4.5 credit hrs.
Total 22.5 credit hrs.

Please visit Transfer Nebraska to access the list of courses MCC accepts from other colleges/ universities. The information on the Transfer Nebraska search is provided as a general guide and is continually updated.

Courses that do not meet the criteria for transfer may be brought in as a Prior Learning Assessment petition, based on a review by the program director and/or dean. Examples include: short on credit hours, short on content, or not an exact match to an existing course with MCC.
