Credit & Transferring Credit

Credit

If you’re registered for College Now credit, you will earn both high school credit and college credit. Your high school grade and credit will appear on your high school transcript; your HCCC College grade and credit will appear on your College transcript.

Transferring Credit

After you've completed an HCCC course in high school through College Now and you know which college you will attend, you should follow the steps below:

  1. Find out to which person or office you should have your HCCC transcript sent.
  2. Complete an HCCC Transcript Request Form, enclose the fee, and return it to the HCCC Registrar's Office to ask that your transcript be mailed to the college you'll attend. Each official transcript request cost $5 each. Request forms are available in the HCCC Registrar's Office, your high school guidance office, and online (with full directions) at the College Now page of the HCCC website: http://www.herkimer.edu/collegenow.
  3. A few weeks after you've completed the HCCC Transcript Request Form, check with the person or office to whom you sent your transcript to see whether it arrived and when you may expect a decision about your credits from HCCC.

If the college you plan to attend has questions about the College credits you earned through College Now, you should provide information about the course you took (your course portfolio, the course description, course outline and syllabus, course requirements). If someone still has questions about the classes you took, please contact the Assistant Dean at HCCC (using the contact information at the back of this guide).
 
If you know the college you wish to attend never accepts college credits earned in high school, taking classes in College Now will still be beneficial to you: you may change your mind later and decide to attend a different college; your registration in these classes will help show that you're a serious student when you apply to college; or you may simply find that classes in College Now help prepare you academically to be a full-time college student.
