Transfer Planning

Transferring to Minnesota State College Southeast

It is Minnesota State College Southeast's policy to provide students with the ability to transfer credits from higher education institutions to meet program major requirements. The transfer of credit shall be accomplished in accordance with Minnesota State Board of Trustees policies. 

Transfer students must request that an official post-secondary transcript be mailed directly to Southeast from the sending institution. However, if a student is transferring from any college or university in the Minnesota State system, they do not need to request and official transcript from any college or university in the Minnesota State system because Southeast will receive an electronic transcript from that school. 

Southeast considers credits from all regionally and non-regionally accredited institutions. Course syllabi and other additional documentation may also be required for evaluation of courses for which a student is requesting transfer credit. 

Transfer of technical credits is only granted for courses completed within the past five years. Some programs may have different technical credit requirements. There is no transfer time limit for general education or elective courses. Transfer credits being considered must have a grade of A, B, C, D, M (Mastery), P (Pass), or S (Satisfactory), and the completed coursework must match at least 75% of the content goals of the Southeast course syllabus for which the student is seeking transfer credit. Questions about transfer of credits from another institution should be directed to the Registrar's Office. 

Transfer of Credit Review/ Appeal Process

If a student wants to have any courses or credits further reviewed they can request so using the Transfer Review/Appeal process in, eServices.

A student may include additional supplemental information such as a course description, syllabus, course outline, or other course materials. The Registrar's Office and the Academic Deans will review the information provided and email their decision within (10) business days.

If you want to appeal their decision, return to eServices to complete the Transfer Appeal process.
