Reverse Transfer Policy

Students who complete a minimum of 45 credits at Brookdale Community College toward a degree and transfer to another accredited college or university are eligible to have future credits earned at the institution to which they transfer apply towards the completion of their Brookdale associate degree.

Students must have completed at least half of their credits from their program (major); as well as, at least half of their total degree credits at Brookdale. A student can reverse transfer up to 15 credits from another accredited institution toward a Brookdale degree. The proposed credits will be reviewed, evaluated, and may be applied toward a degree program effective in the College Catalog when the student was last enrolled.

The Reverse Transfer Application must be submitted with an official transcript within four year since the student’s last completed term at Brookdale. In exceptional circumstances, an appeal may be made to the Vice President of Learning. Additionally, the student must follow the College Regulation 6.1003R, governing “Transfer Credit.”
