Transfer Credit Equivalency

Wake Tech has partnered with CollegeSource TES® to provide students with a library of established credit transfer equivalencies from higher education institutions from which the college has previously transferred credit.

Instructions to navigate the library

If you do not see a course listed in the library, this does not mean that you will not receive credit upon transfer. Wake Tech officials have not had the opportunity to evaluate every course from every institution. The library is always growing. If one of your courses has not been listed, officials will evaluate it when you submit your official transcript. If transfer credit is granted, the course will be added to the library for future students.

Reverse transfer

Any student who earned at least 16 credit hours at Wake Tech and later fulfilled the requirements for an associate degree while working toward a bachelor's degree at a UNC System institution is eligible for the system's Reverse Transfer program, under which the student may be awarded his or her associate degree.

Frequently asked questions

Wake Tech's transfer credit policy can be found in the Transfer Credits section of the college catalog.

International students will have to review the college's transfer credit guidelines specifically for them.

Wake Tech considers courses for transfer equivalency from other colleges or accredited collegiate institutions that are housed in a regional or national accrediting agency. Because these online course providers are not accredited colleges, we do not award transfer credit for their coursework.

Submit your official college transcripts as part of the application process.

For transfer credit evaluations, Wake Tech can evaluate only official transcripts that are sealed and unopened or official e-transcripts that are sent directly from the previous college.

Transcripts are evaluated by the Registrar's Office, division deans and department heads.

Log in to Self-Service and go to "Student Planning." Select "Transfer Credits" from the Academics menu at the top.

Quarter hours will be converted to semester hours, and the semester hours must be equivalent to the Wake Tech course. You may lose some credits in the conversion.

If you feel that your transfer credit evaluation was not correct, here are the steps to submit an appeal:

  1. Submit Form 727: Transfer Credit Appeal Request
  2. Attach the syllabus for the specific year in which the course was taken
  3. Email the information to [email protected] or [email protected].

Transfer credits may count differently in a new major or program of study. Work with your advisor to determine whether a new evaluation of your transfer credits is needed.

First, check the library of courses in the national Transfer Evaluation System (TES) for which Wake Tech has previously granted credit.

If you don't see your institution or course listed in TES, it is likely that we have not had the opportunity to evaluate it yet. After you are admitted to Wake Tech, we will review your coursework for any applicable transfer credit.

If you studied at a college or university outside the United States, you may want to have your transcript evaluated for transfer credit. If so, you must order a "course by course" or "detailed" evaluation from a company that evaluates international credentials.

These evaluations can be expensive, and Wake Tech does not guarantee that you will receive any transfer credit. So, consider whether you would like to order an evaluation based on your budget and whether the coursework you completed may apply to the program you're pursuing at Wake Tech.

Wake Tech accepts international transcript evaluations from any company that is a member of NACES, the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services, but the college does not have a preferred company for evaluation.

These two evaluators offer discounted rates for Wake Tech students:

Submit your official transcript with the course-by-course evaluation to Wake Tech's Admissions Office. If your official transcript is not in English, it must be accompanied by a certified translation. Once the enrollment process is complete, all documents are scanned into your record and sent to Registration & Records for a transfer credit evaluation.
