Transfer from Other Colleges

MATC will award transfer of credit from accredited colleges and universities. This applies to the institutions listed in the Transfer of Credits Practices of Designated Educational Institutions published by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers. 

Credits are accepted with the provision that these courses will apply to required or elective MATC courses. There is no fee for advanced standing by transfer of credit.

Credit for military service school may be allowed in conformity with ACE Office of Educational Credits as outlined in A Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Services. 

Credit for courses offered by business, industry, and government agencies may be allowed in conformity with the ACE Office of Educational Credits as outlined in the National Guide to Credit Recommendations for Noncollegiate Courses and Defense Activity for Nontraditional Education Support (DANTES).

HIGH SCHOOL ARTICULATION

Earn MATC Credits While in High School
High school students can earn MATC college credits through MATC's Tech Prep initiative. This is a joint curriculum review process for advanced standing and/or curriculum alignment with high schools. The purpose of joint curriculum is to provide high school students with the opportunity to obtain advanced standing for successful completion of high school course work that is comparable to technical college course work.

Credit is awarded toward completion of specific MATC program graduation requirements. The MATC credit is applied when you are admitted to the specific program.

The number of credits awarded is specified in the individual agreements and, when applied, will appear on your MATC transcript without a grade. There is no fee for advanced standing by high school articulation.

See High School Initiatives for the list of transcripted credit and advance standing agreeements.
