CMN accepts course credits earned from other accredited institutions of higher learning. However, CMN reserves the right to determine for itself which credits it will accept in transfer to meet the graduation requirements. Courses will not be accepted in transfer and applied to degree programs until approval has been granted by the registrar.

Transfer credit will not be evaluated until an official transcript from the issuing institution(s) has been received by the admissions and registration offices. Although all courses may be transferred into CMN, no more than one-half (50%) of the degree may be transfer credit. The last 15 credit hours earned for any CMN degree must be taken in residency. (See Graduation Requirements for further explanation.) The advisor may submit a “Substitution” form along with a course syllabus or course description to the Office of the Registrar with a copy to the academic dean.

Acceptable transfer credit is evaluated on a course-by-course basis for college-level credit earned at accredited institutions of higher learning. The evaluation is based on course content, as described in the catalog of the institution. Evaluation of transfer credit may require documentation such as program requirements and course syllabi to determine acceptable transfer credit courses.

International transcripts submitted for transfer must be evaluated by a member agency of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). Students must request and receive both the official college transcript and the evaluation summary prepared by the Evaluation Services Committee to the Office of the Registrar.
