Transfer Students

At CBT Technology Institute, we’re here to streamline the transfer process for students who’ve studied at another postsecondary institution or taken Advanced Placement (AP) courses in high school. Our policy is simple: we accept credits from other accredited colleges or AP programs if you have earned satisfactory grades (C or better), and the courses align with our course offerings. However, we do reserve the right to test your proficiency in certain subjects and not to accept credits if you are unable to demonstrate acceptable proficiency in that subject. Ultimately, we want to ensure that you are prepared to succeed in our programs and receive the full benefits of a CBT education.

The Credit Transfer Process

To be considered for transfer credit, students must follow the steps below:

• Submit Official Transcripts
  Only official transcripts from previously attended colleges—or from a high school AP advisor—will be accepted for evaluation. Transcripts must be mailed directly to:
  CBT Technology Institute
  Attn: Registrar
  Subject: External Credit Evaluation
• Complete the Transfer Credit Evaluation Form
  Request and complete the “Transfer Credit Evaluation” form, available at the Registrar’s Office.
• Submit Your Petition
  Return the completed form to the Registrar at your campus.
• Evaluation Process
  The Lead Faculty or Corporate Registrar may contact you if additional information or documentation is needed during the evaluation process.
• Processing Time
  Please allow 1–2 weeks for the evaluation to be completed.

Important: New students must complete the credit transfer process prior to the first day of class.

Transfer Students: Course Numbering

CBT Technology Institute is nationally accredited by Council on Occupational Education (COE), and we have designed our curriculum under the Statewide Course Numbering System or (SCNS). The course numbering system uses a five- or six-digit alpha numeric identifier. The prefixes are characters that represent the type of course. This system facilitates the transfer of students among Florida’s postsecondary institutions. By Florida law, an institution accepting a transfer student from another participating institution must award credit for courses which are equivalent to courses offered by the receiving institution which have been satisfactorily completed at the previous institution, including consideration of faculty credentials. Credits awarded must satisfy the requirements of the receiving institution on the same basis as credits awarded to native students. The system uses the common prefix and three-digit course numbers to represent equivalent courses. Institutions may use their own titles to describe the course content. Please refer to Addendum “D” in our course Catalog.
