Transcripts FAQ | Greenville Technical College -亚虎

What transcripts are accepted?

Greenville Technical College will review transfer credits for acceptance from institutions accredited through an agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education located at ope.ed.gov.

For specific questions about high school transcripts, see Acceptable High School Graduation Types.

What if I attended homeschool or private school?

You must provide a transcript that is regionally accredited or listed with the appropriate Department of Education, as explained in the acceptable graduation types.

What if I don't have proof of high school graduation?

The college also offers several programs that do not require proof of state high school completion/GED. Please note, however, that in order to apply for financial aid, you will need to submit an official state high school transcript, GED or state high school diploma.

If you have previously received an associate or bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college/university, that transcript can replace proof of high school.

What if I can't get my transcript submitted before classes start?

You can be admitted for one semester pending proof of state high school completion/GED after you complete placement testing or provide sufficient ACT, AP, IB or SAT scores. You may be admitted to a program with an unofficial college transcript for one semester only, two (2) weeks prior to the start of the semester.

How are transcripts submitted?

Official transcripts must be submitted directly from the institution (your high school, previous college, etc.):

What are the rules for foreign high school diplomas and transcripts?

Foreign high school diplomas must meet the equivalent of an American high school diploma. Contact World Education Services (WES) www.wes.org or Josef Silny www.jsilny.com to request an evaluation and to have the official report sent to the Admissions office. Ask for a document by document evaluation, not line by line. It is recommended that evaluations be started three (3) months prior to the semester the student intends to enroll. If the evaluation is not complete before the semester begins, provisional/conditional acceptance can be made with a Foreign Evaluation contract at the Admissions Office at the Dreisbach/Anderson Student Success Center or satellite campus location.

How do I get my AP credit?

Students must request AP scores to be sent directly to the Testing Center.

You may request your scores be sent by visiting the CollegeBoard website.

Please send AP scores to TestingCenter@518331.com. Placement Testing personnel will determine appropriate credits awarded per course. Acceptable scores are 3, 4 or 5.

I did dual credit at my high school, can I use that college credit at Greenville Tech?

Yes, you may be able to use the credit. Request the college transcript be sent to the Student Records Office at Greenville Tech for evaluation.

Does everyone have to provide proof of state high school completion/GED?

Yes, except when a program does not require it. An associate or bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college/university can be used in place of proof of high school.
