- Must I attend Umpqua Community College after high school in order for the College Now credits I’ve earned to be on a UCC transcript?
Your credits may be transferred to another post secondary institution without attending UCC. To have your UCC transcript sent to another institution, you must request transcripts available through the Registrar’s Office. Please note that most institutions will require an official transcript.
- Can I transfer the credits I’ve earned in College Now professional technical classes to other post secondary institutions?
Yes. How many of the credits are accepted by other institutions will depend on which type of program the credits are earned in and how many are accepted to fulfill program requirements and how many are accepted as elective credits. Most institutions will accept the majority of the professional technical credits you earn. It is important to check with the Admissions Office at each institution to which you wish to apply.
