Transfer with Ease

Hood welcomes transfer students at every stage of their academic and professional lives. Our transfer articulation agreements with other colleges help ease the admission process and guide students in their efforts to take appropriate courses prior to transferring to Hood. Students transferring to Hood from a community college are encouraged to enroll in classes that meet requirements for an Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, or an Associate of Arts in Teaching degree. Students interested in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing are encouraged to declare a pre-health major for their associate degree.

Community college students are urged to consult their transfer counselor concerning relevant transfer agreements and course equivalencies or contact the Hood College Office of Admission.

The registrar evaluates prior college coursework after the point of enrollment for applicability to degree requirements at Hood College. Credit is generally awarded for courses that are clearly applicable to a baccalaureate degree and for which the student earned a grade of C- or above. Courses that are clearly vocational or occupational in nature will not be accepted as credit toward the baccalaureate degree. A maximum of 62 credits may be awarded for first-year and sophomore level work completed elsewhere. Although there is no limit for junior and senior level coursework, students will be awarded no more than a total of 94 credits for all college-level work completed.
