CREDIT BY EXAMINATION
Regularly enrolled students may, in some subject areas, be able to earn credit for a course offered by the
college through successful completion of a comprehensive examination or series of examinations. Students
who believe they have mastered a course through life experience, past training, or intelligence may, at the
discretion of the Division Chairperson, instructor, and advisor, make application through the Vice President of
Student Services Office to take the examination if one has been developed in that subject area. An
examination fee of $15 per credit is charged prior to the time of examination, and on the recommendation of
the Division Chairperson and instructor, credit will be entered on the student’s transcript. Special agreements
are also in place with Intermediate School Districts creating alternate Credit by Examination procedures.
TRANSFER RESOURCES
COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY TRANSFER REQUIREMENTS
Every American college and university have certain general education requirements of its own. The Transfer
Coordinator maintains records of these requirements for regional schools and can advise the student
preparing for transfer. Information can also be obtained from your faculty advisor.
In general, any student who receives an Associate of Arts or an Associate of Science degree from Gogebic
Community College is not required to pursue further general education requirements at most four-year
colleges and universities in Michigan. Students should check with the Transfer Coordinator or the transfer
university to determine the effect of any special provisos established by the university on their transfer
process.
Gogebic Community College participates in the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) and will identify
transcripts of students completing either of these two degrees with the statement, “Michigan Transfer
Agreement Satisfied.”
Gogebic Community College has formed articulation agreements with a number of colleges and universities.
These academic agreements promote an ease in the transfer process while maximizing the number of GCC
credits accepted in transfer. Please visit our website to view the established agreements with various colleges
and universities.
Students who are interested in participating in this program or obtaining any other information on transfer
procedures and agreements may contact the Transfer Coordinator at GCC.
