Exceptions to Course Equivalencies
Transfer credit for courses that do not fall under the Florida state course numbering are accepted at the discretion of PHSC (the receiving institution). The following courses are exceptions to the general rule for course equivalencies outlined above and they may not transfer to PHSC:
- Courses not offered by PHSC
- For courses at nonregionally accredited institutions, courses offered prior to the established transfer date of the course in question on the SCNS tables
- Courses in the -900-999 series are not automatically transferable, and must be evaluated individually. Courses ending in these numbers may include special topics, internships or an individualized course
- College preparatory and vocational preparatory courses
- Credits for military training and service: course equivalencies for military training are evaluated by the appropriate academic department dean for equivalency credit.
- Upper-level courses: undergraduate courses numbering above 300+ level may be transferable at the discretion of the College, for students enrolled in baccalaureate (upper-level) programs. Upper-level course work can be brought in to satisfy lower course requirements on a case by case basis.
- Graduate level coursework
- Internships, apprenticeships, practica, clinical experiences, and study abroad courses with numbers other than those ranging from 900-999.
- Applied courses in the performing arts (art, dance, interior design, music and theater) and skill courses in criminal justice and/or law enforcement are not guaranteed as transferable
- Courses from foreign institutions or courses completed outside of the U.S.
