Transfer Courses

The South Carolina Commission on Higher Education (CHE) statewide Articulation Agreement includes 86 courses offered by the technical colleges of South Carolina which will transfer to public senior colleges in the State. The CHE Transfer/Articulation Agreement has two sections, COURSES FOR TRANSFER and TRANSFER BLOCKS.

A listing of the transfer courses in available at the CHE web page or a copy is available by contacting the NETC admissions offices. You can also view a list of courses below, as well as the list of colleges that accept, or have accepted, courses taken at Northeastern Technical College.

COURSES FOR TRANSFER
Transfer students are encouraged to earn the associate degree at NETC prior to their transfer or to enroll jointly, if the senior institution is nearby, or to "transfer back" courses which will complete the associate degree requirements. NOTE: Transfer courses are accepted, based on the student's major and the policy of the senior college regarding maximum number of transfer credits. A grade of "C" or better is usually required for transferring courses. Generally, courses at the 100 or 200 level of the course numbering system will not substitute of transfer for 300 or 400 level courses. NETC is accredited by Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award associate degrees, diplomas and certificates. This is an important consideration for transferring courses.

TRANSFER BLOCKS
"Transfer blocks" refer to blocks of courses for specific majors which are guaranteed to transfer to all public senior institutions in South Carolina. These courses have been identified by consensus of all state institutions. The selection of a transfer block is designed to help the student who has chosen a major but is still undecided about the institution to attend. Transfer blocks represent only a portion of the possible courses a student may complete for transfer. NETC advisors can assist students with these additional courses. Transfer blocks have been designed for the following areas: *Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences General Education *General Education and Business Foundations *Engineering *Science and Math *Early Childhood, Elementary and Special Education *Nursing Students who follow a transfer block can work through the advisor to determine additional courses for the institution of their choice, once that decision is made. The transfer block should not limit any student's selection of courses at NETC.
