Note:
1. HCC does not accept transcripts or records via Credly.
2. Students who complete Sophia courses and seek HCC transfer credit for such courses must (I) be enrolled at HCC as students in good standing and (II) meet course and program requirements. HCC will then award transfer credit under these conditions.
3. Credit by exam as well as ACE recommended credit accepted by HCC may not be accepted by other higher education institutions. Please check with the institution first.
