Transferring credits out of GRCC
Students wanting to transfer credits earned at GRCC to another institution can do so by requesting that their GRCC official transcript be sent. Official transcripts document the credit, GPA, and credential you have earned at Grand Rapids Community College. Transcripts are proof of your credit and degree completion and may be needed when applying to jobs, scholarships, licensing boards, or transferring to a four-year institution. Official transcripts are sent directly from GRCC to the recipient. Official transcripts requested for student pick-up will be marked “unofficial if opened by student” and may not be accepted by another institution.
The receiving institution is responsible for evaluating and posting incoming transfer classes/credits. For more information, please visit the Transfer out of GRCC webpage.
Transferring credits into GRCC
If you are an admitted, degree-seeking student, you can have credits earned at other regionally accredited colleges or universities evaluated and added to your GRCC record.
To qualify for transfer credit, we must receive an official transcript. We accept official transcripts in three ways:
- Electronic delivery: Sent directly from your previous school to GRCC through a secure electronic transcript service.
- Mail: Mailed directly from your previous school to GRCC.
