Reverse Transfer

Reverse transfer is for former Tri-C students that have earned at least 20 college-level credits, maintained a 2.0 GPA while attending, 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 Associate Degree.
