Transferring Prior Learning Credits

Just as many of the credits you earn at South can transfer to other colleges and universities, if you have taken college-level courses elsewhere in the past, it is possible those will count toward your AAS-T degree. Eligibility of credits from outside institutions will be determined on a case-by case basis, and our Student Services team will help you navigate this process.
