The College recognizes that students may elect to change universities several times during their career. Evaluation of credits earned at another college or university is part of the admission process. The Registrar and the Academic Department will evaluate courses taken at another college or university on a course-by-course basis. To be approved for transfer credit, a course must have been taken at an accredited college or university and a grade of 'C-' or higher must have been awarded. Additionally, the material covered in the course must be substantially the same as the course for which credit is being awarded. It is recommended that the process of transfer credit evaluation be completed before a student enrolls for his or her first semester of study. The student must complete the application procedure for admission to MCBS before a review of transfer credit is made.

(Transfer credits are not calculated in a student’s cumulative grade.)

It is the responsibility of the student to provide the College with complete information about each course for which transfer credit is being requested, including course descriptions from the catalogue and the syllabi for each course. In cases where the similarity of content cannot be established, a student may request an in-person evaluation or an examination.

A fee of R.O.50 is charged for the evaluation of transfer credits from another institution. If a student registers for classes at MCBS, this fee is credited towards his or her academic fees.

The maximum number of credits that can be transferred into MCBS is 50% of the requirements of an Associate Degree, or 30 credit hours and 75% of the requirements of the Bachelor’s Degree, or 90 credit hours.
