Reverse Transfer

Web banner image: Reverse Transfer #YouEarnedIt; Wish you could receive your degree from Tri-C? Well, the wait may be over!

Are you a former Tri-C student who completed at least 20 credits while attending, then transferred to another college? If so, you may be eligible for Reverse Transfer.

Reverse transfer is for former Tri-C students that have earned at least 20 college-level credits, maintained a 2.0 GPA when attended, then earned credits at another college. Students can take earned college credits from another institution and transfer them back to Tri-C to see if they are eligible for a certificate or an Associate Degree.

  • Indicates persistence to complete a four-year degree.
  • Increase marketability and salary potential.   
  • Obtain a credential you have paid for and earned. 
  • Receive benefits from Tri-C transfer partnerships.

Transcript must be dated with the last year. If you have a physical copy of the transcript, it must be in its' original, sealed envelope.
