TTC provides many opportunities for students who plan to transfer to four-year colleges or universities. TTC students can transfer successfully to public and private institutions both within South Carolina and across the United States if they choose courses carefully. Transfer students can tailor their TTC course work to the requirements of the four-year college or university they have chosen. Those requirements vary considerably from college to college and even among majors at a single college. Planning an effective sequence of classes requires careful consideration of points such as these:

• Only the college to which the student is transferring can determine which credits will be accepted to meet specific requirements. Students should consult a catalog or website from their prospective four-year college and, if possible, consult someone at the four-year college for specific transfer advice before meeting with a TTC advisor.
• All public and many private four-year institutions in South Carolina maintain transfer agreements with TTC, which can serve as a guide for selecting courses. In addition, transfer advisors can help students choose appropriate transfer courses.
• Most courses with a final grade of less than C will not transfer to four-year colleges.
• The GPA required for transfer admission varies from college to college.
• Not all colleges calculate GPA by the same method.
• For more information on transfer policies and GPA, see Regulations and Procedures for Transfer in Public Two-Year and Public Four-Year Institutions in South Carolina as Mandated by Act 137 of 1995.
