Transferring Credits to Mercer
Credits from Other Colleges
Students may request that Mercer accept credits earned at other accredited colleges. Potential transfer credits are evaluated for their applicability to Mercer degree or certificate programs. Approved transfer credits are entered on the student's transcript only after the student has been accepted in a degree or certificate program. Foreign transcripts may require translation or evaluation by an approved outside agency.
Information about Mercer's transfer credit policy and procedures is available from the Admissions office. Mercer reserves the right to deny inappropriate credit requests.
International students: special instructions
Program-Sharing Agreement
Mercer County and Bucks County residents can enroll at reasonable cost in academic programs
not offered at their home county college. A program-sharing agreement among Bucks County
Community College and Mercer County Community College enables students to take basic courses
at their home institution and specialized courses for the degree at the other college.
Students pay out-of-county instead of out-of-state rates.
For more information call (609) 586-4800, ext. 3240, or e-mail scheidp@mccc.edu.

Credit for Nontraditional Learning Experiences
Mercer recognizes that learning in the classroom is only part of the learning that takes place in the modern world. Credit may be granted by examinations and other demonstrations of knowledge or skills acquired outside the traditional classroom. These include appropriate life and work experiences in addition to formal learning through military schools, proprietary schools, or training programs.
Detailed information about credit for nontraditional learning experiences is available from the Student Records office. Mercer reserves the right to deny inappropriate credit requests. Veterans may wish to have their military training and experience evaluated for possible college credit. Those wishing to do so should contact the Veterans Affairs office.
