  • The Registrar’s Office reviews Texas Common Course Numbering System – TCCNS (https://tccns.org/) for equivalent courses for Texas Public Institutions.
  • Out-of-state/Online/Private schools, the Registrar’s Office collects course description information and submits to the Dean of the academic school in which the course resides.
  • Institutions that are outside the U.S. – students must submit their transcripts for evaluation to a company that is a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) or the Association of International Credit Evaluators (AICE).

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I transfer coursework to Angelina College?

  • It may also be necessary for you to submit course syllabi to help with the assessment.

    • What college courses will be accepted as course transfer credit?

      • Upper-level coursework will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
    • Angelina College utilizes the US Department of Education’s website to determine accreditation of colleges/universities (https://ope.ed.gov/dapip/#/home)

      • Coursework from Out of state and private institutions will be evaluated through the use of course descriptions and syllabi (when provided).

    How do I know what coursework transferred for credit?

    • All successful transfer coursework will be listed on your AC official transcript.
    • This does not indicate that the course will be used to fulfill a degree requirement.

In all cases, collecting course syllabi and assessments to be presented during the assessment would be helpful.

    What if my college courses and studies were taken at a foreign institution?

  • Evaluating coursework taken at foreign institution of higher learning is a several-step process.

Courses will be evaluated on the basis of their comparability to courses and curricula offered.
  • All transcripts and course syllabi and descriptions must be evaluated and translated from the original language into English, evaluated for equivalency to US course standards and certified by a professional translator.
  • The evaluation company must be a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES – https://www.naces.org/members) or the Association of International Credit Evaluators (AICE – https://aice-eval.org/endorsed-members/).
  • The Office of the Registrar, with the help of academic Deans, will then process the evaluated/translated transcript for any equivalent course outcomes and equivalent credit hours.

    • Can I receive college course credit for military study?

  • Angelina College will evaluate courses taken while in the military.
  • An official Joint Services Transcript (JST) is required.
  • Courses that are recommended for credit by the American Council on Education (ACE) will be reviewed by the academic dean for course equivalency.

    What is an Academic Fresh Start?

    Academic Fresh Start gives students who have attended Angelina College the option of having coursework taken 10 or more years prior to the starting date of the semester to be eliminated from computation of the grade point average (GPA).  This is an “all or nothing” option.  You are not able to pick and choose which courses to ignore and which courses to count. If you choose the “Academic Fresh Start” option, you will not receive credit for any of the courses taken 10 or more years ago.

    Once this election is made, that coursework cannot be used to meet degree or prerequisite requirements, though the coursework remains on the student’s record.  A notation will be added to your transcript indicating that you have elected to do the Academic Fresh Start.

     Academic Fresh Start is not considered with financial aid calculations.

    The online form is found on the AC Portal, Student Tab, Student Forms. Once submitted, the form is reviewed and processed by the Registrar.

    How do I Audit a Course?

    Any student may audit a course by completing the online form PRIOR TO the official census date of the semester (see AC Master Calendar or AC Academic Calendar).

    Auditing students may attend classes, but WILL NOT EARN CREDIT for the audited course.

    Once a student chooses to audit a course, they cannot later ask to receive credit.

    The admission process and tuition and fees are the same for students auditing courses as those for credit enrollment. 

     

    How can I get an education verification?

  • AC utilizes the National Student Clearinghouse to process degree/education verifications.
  • Current students needing an enrollment verification can print that directly from their AC Student Portal, Student Forms page, using the National Student Clearinghouse link.
  • Requests sent directly to the Registrar must be accompanied by a signed release from the student.
  • Subpoenas do not require a student’s signed release.
