Transfer to NVC

 "I have attended another college and would like to transfer to NVC.” 

Thank you for choosing Northwest Vista College (NVC)!  We are delighted in your decision to transfer to NVC.  At NVC, a transfer student is any student who has previous college work completed at a regionally accredited college or university after graduating from high school.  We are looking forward to creating opportunities for your success!

Transfer Admissions.  Please consult the Catalog for General Admission Requirements. 

Grades Acceptable for Course Transfer
The Alamo Colleges accept any passing grade from any accredited institution.  Passing is a grade of “D” or better.  Only those courses in which a “D” or better has been earned may be applied to meet the requirements toward a certificate or degree, and only those technical courses in which a “C” or better has been earned may be applied to meet the requirements in the major field of study.  This policy applies to all degree plans.
