Transfer and Articulated Credit

College level course credits at regionally accredited* post-secondary institutions can be transferred to BCC. Credits earned at a non-regionally accredited institution with which Broome Community College has a current articulation agreement may also be transferred to BCC. Transfer Credit is subject to approval of the Department Chairperson or Dean's designee and with the following provisions:

BCC must receive official transcripts of all college level work completed at other regionally accredited colleges before transfer credit will be awarded.

Grades earned at other institutions will not be entered into the cumulative grade-point average (GPA) at Broome Community College.

Grades of "C" or higher are transferable if coursework is relevant to the student's program of study at BCC. "C-" and "D" grades may be transferable with the approval of the Department Chairperson or Dean's Designee.

*Accrediting agencies - Middle States, New England, North Central, North West, Southern Association, and Western.

Credits earned at foreign post-secondary institutions may also be transferred, subject to review and approval of the Department Chairperson or Dean's designee from the division in which the student matriculates. Students applying for foreign credit transfer must submit an official evaluation of foreign educational credentials from an accredited evaluation agency.

Advanced Placement Examination (AP)

The College will recognize for credit the AP examinations of the College Entrance Examination Board. A score of three or above is generally acceptable for credit, but each academic department establishes its policy. Laboratory courses may require additional lab work for full credit for a college course. Credit awarded will be handled as a transfer credit.

College Proficiency Exams (CP)

The CP exams of the University of the State of New York will be recognized for credit upon approval by the appropriate department. Credit awarded will be handled as transfer credit.

Foreign Transfer Credit

Credits earned at foreign post-secondary institutions may also be transferred, subject to review and approval of the Department Chairperson or Dean's designee from the division in which the student matriculates. Students applying for foreign credit transfer must submit an official evaluation of foreign educational credentials from a NACES member organization such as World Education Services (WES) or Educational Credential Evaluators, Inc. (ECE).
