Do you have college-level credits you want to transfer to Sheridan College, or are you interested in how our credits transfer to other institutions of higher learning? We are here to help. Whether you took college classes in high school, are changing your career path, took a break from college, or are joining us from another college or university — transfer credit is accepted from regionally accredited institutions in the United States.
Students transferring to Sheridan College must provide official transcripts from each college attended for evaluation. Unofficial transcripts may be used to assist advisors in degree planning and course selection. However, official transcripts are required be received two weeks prior to the start of term when transfer credits are used to meet course pre-requisites.

- NWCCD graduates with an AA, AS, or ADN have any unmet UW University Studies Program (gen eds) lower division requirements waived.
