Transfering Courses to Montgomery County Community College

1. Have the college or university send an official transcript to the Admissions Office at Montgomery County Community College (Central or West, where you plan to attend).Your transcript will be evaluated, eligible courses will be added to your Montgomery County Community College transcript, and you will be informed in writing of the successful transfer to Montgomery County Community College.
2. While you are waiting for the official transcript to arrive, bring an unofficial copy to Advising. Advisors will review this with you and help you with course selections based on what will transfer here. No courses will be added to your transcript, however, until we receive the official copy.
