Transfer Policy

The BCC Nursing programs follow the college policy for transfer of all non-nursing program required courses as seen below and, in the catalog, (www.berkshirecc.edu/catalog):

Berkshire Community College (BCC) welcomes transfer-in students, including veterans with prior military training and/or experience.

Applicants requesting transfer of previous college experience to BCC must provide BCC with official transcripts from their previous college(s) and high school. Official transcripts are also needed to meet the admission requirements for Nursing and Allied Health.

BCC may grant credit from regionally accredited institutions where a grade-point average of C (2.000) or better has been earned and where the course content parallels the requirements in a student's program at BCC. Students may also request the granting of credit for transfer courses that are not degree requirements if the courses can be applied toward completion of the Mass Transfer general education block (Gen Ed Foundation), provided the credits are added to the BCC transcript prior to graduation.

Students should consult with the Transfer Coordinator as early as possible in their education.

Transfer students planning to graduate from BCC may not account for more than three quarters of a program's graduation credit requirements by transfer, credit by exam, prior learning experiences or any combination of these.

Nursing courses from other programs are not accepted in transfer to the BCC Nursing Programs.
