If you value your time and money, a transfer credit agreement (articulation agreement)
provides you with a map to your educational future. It provides you with the quickest

degree. However, the amount of OCC credit hours accepted and applied varies by the
transfer credit agreement (articulation agreement) and ranges between 70-94 credit
hours. Imagine after transferring potentially having as few as 30 credit hours remaining

FOREIGN TRANSCRIPT EVALUATION | International transcripts must be evaluated by a member of the National Association
of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) before OCC can consider international credits
for transfer. A course-by-course evaluation is required. Students seeking to transfer
credit from Canadian institutions do not have to send their transcripts to a NACES
member for evaluation. Students should request their official transcripts from their
Canadian institution to be sent to OCC; due to differences in accreditation standards
between Canada and the U.S., transfer credit from Canadian institutions is not guaranteed.
Canadian transcripts are reviewed on a case-by-case by the Office of the Registrar.
