At GCC we hope to maximize your previous credits and experiences as you explore your options to transfer. You may request that credits earned at another institution be transferred to Gogebic Community College. Your transcripts will be evaluated to determine which credits will transfer and which course requirements are fulfilled by those credits.
Credit is awarded based on the requirements of your program of study at Gogebic. Only courses where you earned a C or higher are transferable.
The Michigan Transfer Network allows students to view transfer course equivalencies between many Michigan colleges and universities. You can search for courses by sending institution (the institution where you completed the course) or by the receiving institution (the institution where you plan to transfer the course). Can't find your course? Contact a participating institution.

Veterans who feel that training received in the military is applicable to their program of study may request that such training be evaluated for credit. The veteran must produce proper documentation that will be evaluated by the Transfer Coordinator based on the American Council on Education (ACE) credit recommendations. For more information, visit their web site at www.acenet.edu. Veterans planning to transfer from Gogebic Community College to another institution should be aware that the institution may not accept the credit for military training given by Gogebic, but will usually wish to re-evaluate the training documentation.
Regularly enrolled students may, in some subject areas, be able to earn credit for a course offered by the college by successfully completing a comprehensive examination or series of examinations. Student who believe they have mastered a course through life experience, past training or intelligence may, at the discretion of the Division Chairperson, instructor and advisor, make application through the Office of the Registrar to take the examination if one has been developed in that subject area.
