- What is a transfer program?
Midlands Technical College provides students who are interested in transferring to four-year colleges and universities a clear pathway that enhances transfer success. Students experience a seamless transition when transferring and greater success after transfer.
- How can I be sure that my credits from Midlands Technical College will transfer?
A benefit of being a transfer college-level student is that it can provide you with a seamless transition from MTC to your intended institution. In addition, MTC has transfer advisors who maintain close working relationships with many four-year colleges and universities. You should work closely with your academic advisor at MTC and the admissions/advisement personnel at the college to which you are planning to transfer.
- Will developmental courses count in the 30 credit hours I need for transfer?
No. Placement in developmental (DVS) courses is based on your performance on the college placement test. These pre-college courses will strengthen your academic skills to help you be successful in college-level courses and earn the GPA required for transfer. Only college level courses (101 or higher) are counted in the 30 credit hours for transfer.

To be eligible to continue the LIFE Scholarship the next year, you must complete a minimum of 30 semester hours of college level (101 or higher) work and earn a minimum 3.0 GPA each academic year to continue your LIFE eligibility to the next year.
