Transfer Credits
Transferring Credits to BMCC
To have credits earned from other colleges evaluated towards your certificate/degree intent at BMCC, you will need to complete BMCC’s Transcript Evaluation Request form. You will also need to request official transcripts from be sent to BMCC’s Registrar’s Office. Official transcripts must include a signature from the issuing institution and its authorized seal and be delivered to BMCC in a sealed envelope.
In general, BMCC accepts college-level credits earned at regionally-accredited colleges or universities.
Your accepted credits will become a part of your permanent academic record at BMCC and will be noted and posted on your official grade transcript at the time a certificate or degree is earned. Grades earned from BMCC and other colleges that are applied towards a specific certificate or degree will be used to compute your grade point average for that specific program only. In all other cases, only grades earned at BMCC are used to compute your cumulative GPA.
If you have taken the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) or the Advanced Placement (AP) test, request that your scores be forwarded to the Registrar’s Office. Exams must have been taken within 3 years of the date you are requesting credit. Credits received for AP and CLEP at other colleges and universities will not be accepted. You must have your exam scores sent directly to BMCC from ACT. Go to the Nontraditional College Credit Webpage for more information.
