GC HOWEVER you are required to submit transcripts from the university or college you
attended.
If you applied as a first year and were not admitted but since that time you have completed
some college level work and you feel that you meet the requirements and you want to reapply,
we welcome and encourage you to do so.
6. Does it matter where I go to school first in order to transfer to GC?
No. However GC only accepts coursework from United States institutions accredited by the
regional organizations of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. An Outsourced Credit
Evaluation is required for Non-U.S. institutions. Transferable credit from a community or
technical college is generally listed in their transfer/general education core. Non-academic, sub-
college level, non-credit, experiential learning, professional certification and areas of study not
also taught at GC will not be transferred. Some schools do not have regional accreditation.
Therefore, the coursework and degree will not be recognized by traditional regionally accredited
colleges and universities, and may not be recognized by some employers. If you would like to
see a list of regionally accredited universities and colleges please see the links below.

7. I have attended more than one institution. Do I need to send transcripts form every school at
which I have taken college level work?
Yes. Although many college transcripts will show transfer work from other institutions
applicants are required to submit official transcripts from every college or university attended.
8. How will I know which classes will transfer to GC?
We cannot tell students what courses definitely will or will not transfer until an application and
transcripts are submitted. Admitted students will be able to log-in to Degree Works and see
coursework that has transferred.
However, to get an idea of which courses will transfer, refer to our
Transfer Articulation
Information Locator. Though this is not a totally exhaustive search engine, it does list courses
that transfer to GC and their GC equivalent for many schools in the state of Georgia as well as
many non-Georgia schools from which our students transfer. For more details on acceptance of
transfer credit, visit our page below.

9. Why are some courses listed as electives on the Transfer Articulation Information Locator?
Courses that do not match existing GC courses because of content, hours and GC Departmental
instructions are transferred as electives. The information does change periodically so students
are encouraged to keep course syllabus and catalogs. If you believe that a course you have
taken at another institution should transfer towards your core or major you can petition the
registrar but you will need supporting documentation.
