Students transferring from another accredited college may receive credit for courses completed with a grade of “C” or better if the course is applicable to the student’s program at Midstate. The College may require proficiency testing to determine the level of the student’s competency in certain courses, and also reserves the right to refuse transfer credits. Transfer students are advised to take sequential courses such as Composition I and II at the same institution. Completed course sequences will be accepted for transfer; however, some courses that are five or more years old will not be accepted.

One-third of all credit hours for any one educational program, degree or diploma must be taken at Midstate College. In addition, the student must have taken the final quarter term, or its equivalent, at Midstate to qualify for a Midstate degree or diploma.

Students attending Midstate may only transfer credits to Midstate for classes taken at other institutions prior to their entrance at Midstate. Students enrolled in a baccalaureate degree program must complete a total of 60 quarter hours, with 32 quarter hours in upper-division coursework at Midstate College and the last quarter in residence, to be eligible for a baccalaureate degree from Midstate College. Midstate College does not accept more than 92 quarter hours at the 100-200 course level. Any exceptions to this policy must be approved by the Chief Academic Dean or a component of a formalized articulation agreement.

Midstate College accepts transfer students who present a complete application and official transcript from the collegiate institution last attended. Admissions representatives will send for official transcripts during the enrollment process, and transfer of credit will be based upon the student’s official transcript.
