Transfer Credits | Florida Tech Online

Admissions

Transfer

Transfer credits will be considered for courses taken at an accredited college or university. International institutions must be recognized as degree-granting by their country’s educational governing authority. For a class to be eligible for transfer, a grade of at least C- or the equivalent must have been achieved in undergraduate classes and a grade of at least B- or the equivalent must have been achieved in graduate classes. Courses are also compared to those taught at Florida Tech to ensure you are prepared to succeed in your coursework. Additionally, the following types of credit may be evaluated for transfer:

College Board Advanced Placement (AP): when scores of 4 or 5 are received and for courses in the Florida Tech catalog
College-Level Examination Program (CLEP): for subject examinations only when the minimum score is above or equal to the recommended percentile as published by the American Council on Education (ACE) and based on Florida Tech transfer credit policy
International Examinations: credit awarded for a C or better for the British GCE examinations at the advanced level (A-level) or the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examinations (CAPE) when two units are completed. Credit also awarded for grades of 4 or higher in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program for higher-level exams and certain standard-level exams for IB diploma holders.
