For incoming students, Admissions counselors can give students a general idea of what will transfer in from other colleges and universities. Students are told that their transcripts must officially be evaluated by Registration and Records. Students who wish to transfer from ATC to another college or university are encouraged to contact that institution for their transfer policies (generally the Admissions office.)

They could be on academic probation, or they may have to wait to be admitted to satisfy the terms of a dismissal imposed on them by their previous school. For ATC students looking transfer elsewhere they may find that some or all of their credits will not transfer. It is the receiving schools decision to decide what they will accept as transfer credit. For incoming students we could develop a simple webpage for our most frequent transfer schools. This would give a student very basic information on which core classes will transfer.
