Transfer Student Course Placement
Before you do anything else, have your official transcript sent to us!
Students who have earned credits at a regionally accredited college or university may have already satisfied some or all course placement requirements.
To obtain course placement, degree seeking students should immediately request to have all college and university transcripts, as well as IB transcripts, CLEP and AP official exam score reports sent to us. Minneapolis College will review the documents submitted and approve course placement for eligible students.
If approved, course placements will be listed on your Degree Audit in eServices.
If you have already requested that your transcripts and/or exam scores be sent to us, we may have already approved and added course placements to your student record. Please check for course placements on your Degree Audit in eServices.

- Developmental – Equivalent reading course or equivalent English (writing) course
Math Placement with previous coursework
