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

• Only official transcripts from other colleges may be used to evaluate and/or award credit. Students must request that an official transcript from all previously attended colleges or high school AP advisor be mailed to the registrar office at CBT Technology Institute, Attn: Registrar, Subj: External Credit Evaluation.
• Complete the request for a transfer credit evaluation form.
• Return your petition to the registrar at your campus. A Program Director will contact you if your assistance is required with the transfer credit evaluation process.
• Please allow 1-2 Weeks for the process to be completed. New students must complete the 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.
