Students seeking advanced standing must have successfully completed courses prior to matriculation in a health care professional doctoral program (i.e., medical, dental, veterinary, osteopathic). All courses must have been completed at an accredited facility for higher education. Credit for courses to be considered for advanced standing must be documented by official transcripts. Forms for application are available through the Registrar’s Office and must be completed prior to the first trimester of study. Only courses with grades of 2.00 on a 4.00 scale or better can be considered for advanced standing credit. Advanced standing credit awarded will not be included in the TCC GPA calculation. Courses used to meet admission requirements cannot be used to meet graduation requirements. Requests for advanced standing must be accompanied by payment of the appropriate fees.
