Frequently asked questions on transferring to another educational institution. The Transfer & Placement Office is here to help you make a smooth transition to a four-year college.

2. When do I start the transfer process?
We encourage you to gather information early in your program to help you make informed decisions about credit transfer. 

3. Do I need a certain number of credits to transfer? How do I know which credits will transfer? Why don’t some credits transfer?

• When you apply to the four-year college, you will receive a credit evaluation showing which NTC credits transfer.
• Visit the Transfer Information System (TIS) to read about UW college transfer by course or program.

• The Recruitment Schedule lists college rep visits to NTC.
