Transfer made simple

Many MCC students plan to transfer. Whatever your transfer destination, we'll work to make sure your credits move easily. That's why we're experts at it.

We've worked out specific transfer agreements with many four-year colleges and universities, so make sure you speak with an academic advisor before enrolling, particularly since transfer agreements can change based on curriculum revisions.

Also, transfer requirements vary for different majors and four-year colleges and universities. In some cases, an associate's degree equals the first two years of a bachelor's degree, while in other cases, an associate's degree may not be necessary to transfer.

Therefore, it's essential to meet with an advisor or counselor early to make sure you enroll in classes that will transfer.

Missouri Reverse Transfer

The Missouri Reverse Transfer is the process of allowing college students or former college students who have completed credits for an associate's degree to receive that degree even if they have transferred to a different college or university, or stopped out of higher education altogether.

Program agreements

Transfer requirements vary so it's important you meet with an advisor or counselor early on to make sure you're enrolling in classes that will transfer. You should select a four-year transfer school and your major area of study as soon as possible.

To report a problem with the transfer policy

Missouri's Coordinating Board for Higher Education has approved a credit transfer policy that stipulates guidelines for student transfer and articulation among Missouri public colleges and universities. All public institutions have agreed to abide by the principles contained within the policy.

Any transfer student who believes there has been unfair treatment involving acceptance of college credits may contact the college's articulation officer. A transfer student may invoke the transfer appeals process to challenge an institutional decision to accept credit(s) from regionally accredited colleges or universities.

To report problems and appeal decisions, please contact the MCC's articulation officer at the address and phone number below:
