Wake Tech accepts credits from colleges or schools accredited by regional accrediting agencies whenever the grade is "C" or better. Students who have completed courses at an accredited nursing program and wish to transfer credits to Wake Tech must contact the dean of the Nursing Division, who will consider the request for transfer credit after reviewing course materials.

Transfer credit will be limited to comparable courses in the Wake Tech curriculum. If the content of the course for which transfer credit is sought doesn't include the same content that is in Wake Tech courses, transfer credit will not be awarded.

NOTE: Courses in the biological sciences completed more than five years ago are not transferable. Students who must repeat a nursing course are ineligible for transfer credit. Students who have failed a nursing course are ineligible for transfer. They may apply to start over in NUR-111.

• Students must complete at least 25% of the hours required for the degree at Wake Tech.
