- Students should check the transfer policies at the institution or institutions they are considering by consulting with the admissions or registrar office at those institution(s).
- Students who transfer should request that the TV registrar send an official academic transcript of their TV transfer credits and academic work to the institution(s) where they are applying for admission.
- The TV academic transcript will note subject areas (domains) that were successfully completed. TV transfer credits and equivalencies for the completed domains will be listed.
