Transfer
Credit Policies
Students
planning to transfer credit from York Technical College to other
postsecondary institutions are responsible for confirming the
transferability of courses with those institutions.
Students
planning to transfer courses from other postsecondary institutions to York
Technical College must adhere to the following guidelines:
Students must
have official transcripts of completed courses from postsecondary
institutions attended sent to the College.
Course credit
must have been earned at a postsecondary institution accredited at the
college level by a nationally recognized regional accrediting agency or by a
nationally recognized health accrediting agency for hospital-based transfer
credit. Coursework completed at either hospital or college-sponsored
accredited radiologic technology programs that are recognized by the Joint
Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology is eligible for
consideration.
To receive
transfer credit in a program, a course must be required or approved as an
elective in the curriculum being entered.
A grade of
"C" or better must have been earned in each course to be considered for
transfer.
Course
credits being transferred must have been earned within the last 12 years
unless a degree or diploma was earned. Shorter course eligibility time
limits may apply to selected courses in certain programs.
Credit for
the courses to be transferred must show on an official transcript from the
granting institution.
Credits
transferred from other institutions may not exceed 75 percent of the total
credits required by York Technical College for graduation.
Courses
transferred into a curriculum must have equivalent or greater credits and be
comparable to York Technical College courses which are required or approved
as electives in the curriculum. These courses will be assigned a grade of
"TR" and will not be calculated in the grade-point ratio (GPR).
New students
eligible to receive transfer credit must enroll within two semesters of the
time the credit is approved. Currently enrolled or former students may
transfer credit back to York Technical College to graduate as long as the
Transfer Credit and graduation
guidelines are met.
Academic
Fresh Start
The Academic
Fresh Start procedure is designed to assist returning students, who meet
specific conditions, to have a fresh start in how their previous academic
records are applied toward meeting graduation requirements in credit
programs leading to a degree, diploma or certificate. Any student who
meets the following conditions should contact the Registrar’s Office for an
application.
Academic
Fresh Start is available only to students after re-entry to York Technical
College following two years’ absence. It is the responsibility of the
student to apply in writing for Academic Fresh Start within the first two
semesters following re-admission. In order to qualify, students applying for
Academic Fresh Start must have a cumulative GPA below 2.0 for all course
work. Students must also establish a term of progress (2.0 term GPA) before
Academic Fresh Start will be applied.
Academic
Fresh Start applies only to the course work taken prior to the term of
re-enrollment. Under this process, all courses previously taken at YTC are
removed from the grade-point average calculation but still appear on the
student’s transcript with the original grades earned. Courses
completed with grades of “A”, “B”, or “C” may still be used to meet program
requirements, if applicable; however, grades of “D” may no longer be used.
Academic Fresh Start does not apply when determining eligibility for
academic honors at York Technical College.
All students
are responsible for satisfying requirements for their academic programs and
for maintaining the required GPA. Students should seek guidance from an
advisor but the final responsibility remains that of the student.
