Transfer Credit Review
If you have earned college credits at another regionally accredited school prior to attending BC, you can request to have those credits reviewed for your degree or certificate program at BC. Here are guidelines for requesting a review of your previous coursework.
Section I. New or Prospective Students
Section II. Current Students in Academic/Transfer Programs
Section III. Students in Professional/Technical Programs
Section I - New or Prospective Students
If you are a new student and have not yet registered courses, bring a copy of your transcript(s) to the Educational Planning Advising Center. They will provide you with an unofficial review of your transfer coursework along with information on BC degree and certificate programs, course selection, registration, online advising tools, and more. Call 425-564-2212 for an appointment or go to their front desk at the Student Services Building, 2nd floor.
Section II - Current Students in Academic/Transfer Programs
If you are a currently enrolled student or a returning student planning to earn an academic degree at BC, you may request an official evaluation of your transfer credits to determine how many of them will apply toward your intended BC degree.
To request an official transfer credit evaluation, you must satisfy both of the following two requirements
1. You are currently enrolled in credit classes OR have completed credits in the past at BC
2. You plan to receive one of the following BC degrees:
- Associate
in Arts and Sciences (DTA*)

- Associate
in Science-Track 1
- Associate
in Science-Track 2

- Associate in Applied Science degree
- Associate in Arts in General Studies
If your degree or certificate is not listed above, see Section III below for Professional/Technical Programs
*DTA-Direct Transfer Agreement; MRP-Major Related Program
If both of the above two requirements are met, complete the following steps:
- Download and submit an Official Transfer Credit Evaluation Request Form [Adobe PDF] to the Evaluations Office. (This form is also available at the Student Services Center in B Building).
-
Submit official transcript(s) in sealed school envelopes. (If they are in a language other than English, also submit English translations from a BC approved translation service agency. A list of these agencies is available in the Evaluations Office)
- Submit course descriptions for courses that were completed prior to Fall 1994.
Note: The Official Transfer Credit Evaluation Request Form is used only for students pursuing one of the degrees listed above in this Section. All other students should following the steps in Section III.
