Transfer Of Credit (Full-Time)<br />
Accepting transfer of credit for another institution<br />
is at the discretion of the <strong>Adult</strong> <strong>Education</strong> Office.<br />
There is no guarantee that transfer of credit is<br />
accepted unless met by the stated guidelines.<br />
Acceptance of a transfer credit for a course<br />
completed in other post-secondary institutions<br />
when comparable in scope to the coursework<br />
offered may be granted, based on meeting the<br />
following factors:<br />
• Comparability of the nature, content, and level<br />
of transfer of credit and the appropriateness and<br />
applicability of the credit earned to programs<br />
offered by Medina County Career Center are<br />
determining factors in the evaluation process for<br />
transfer credit to be awarded.<br />
• The student must also meet the acceptable<br />
standards of educational accomplishment<br />
through a given assessment selected by the<br />
instructor or program coordinator according to<br />
the offered course module (must obtain a 70%<br />
or better). The assessment will reflect a valid<br />
evaluation measure to represent student learning<br />
outcomes applicable to that transfer of credit that<br />
is reflective of the coursework offered within the<br />
Career Development program.<br />
• The course should align with the curriculum,<br />
materials and topics covered in the Medina<br />
County Career Center course.<br />
• Evidence of appropriate academic level may also<br />
be requested showing satisfactory grades for<br />
the course completed as well as a request of the<br />
syllabus or study guide for the course.<br />
• Due to all career development programs<br />
commencing concurrently, the Medina County<br />
Career Center does not permit transfers between<br />
programs once the school year has started.<br />
The decision to accept an academic transfer<br />
of credit may include the <strong>Adult</strong> Career Center<br />
Administrator, Program Coordinator, and instructors<br />
of Medina County Career Center.<br />
