Middlesex Community College Transfer Credit
Need self-paced, online courses that you can start at any time?
StraighterLine Opportunities
If the courses you need to move forward with your academic plan at Middlesex Community College are unavailable or don't fit the pace of your life, preapproved courses at StraighterLine may be an option. While MCC offers many asynchronous online course sections with no class meeting times, these may be filled or not offered every semester. In addition, all our courses follow semester schedules with regular homework deadlines and specific test dates and times. At StraighterLine, you can begin courses at any time and complete them in weeks OR months, truly working at your own pace!
Middlesex Advising Notes:
- Transfer of credit from StraighterLine to Middlesex is based on our general practice of recognizing American Council
on Education credit recommendations, which we also use for Advanced Placement, CLEP exams, and Joint
Services Transcripts from the military. - Selected courses that are preapproved for transfer credit are listed in the course equivalency table below.
Students should contact the Credit for Prior Learning Coordinator at Middlesex before considering any other
courses not on the preapproved list. - MCC's acceptance of credits from StraighterLine does not guarantee or imply that they will be accepted by another
college or university when the student transfers out. Most of MCC’s transfer destination colleges will not accept
this type of credit without prior approval, if at all. - Students should always consult with MCC Admissions or Advising staff before taking courses from any other
college or alternative provider to ensure applicability to their academic program requirements and plan of
study.

Do StraighterLine courses match the quality of courses at Middlesex Community College?
We understand students want to get the most out of their education — that’s why we make the quality of our courses a top priority.
All StraighterLine courses have been reviewed and recommended by the American Council on Education (ACE). On top of that, our partner colleges assess each course before approving it for transfer. Because of this, you can trust that the course curriculum, learning outcomes, and assessments uphold quality standards set by Middlesex Community College.
How do I transfer my StraighterLine credits to Middlesex Community College?
Transferring to a partner school is easy! Once you’ve passed your course with a grade of 70% or higher, all you have to do is log in to your StraighterLine account and request an official transcript. Just let us know where to send your transcript, and we’ll handle getting it sent to your school at no extra cost.
Once they’ve received your transcript, your school will review it and apply the credits toward your degree program.

Middlesex Advising Guidelines
- Transfer of credit from StraighterLine to Middlesex is based on our general practice of recognizing American Council on Education credit recommendations, which we also use for Advanced Placement, CLEP exams, and Joint Services Transcripts from the military.
- Selected courses that are preapproved for transfer credit are listed in the course equivalency table above. Students should contact the Credit for Prior Learning Coordinator at Middlesex before considering any other courses not on the preapproved list.
- Students should always consult with MCC Admissions or Advising staff before taking courses from any other college or alternative provider to ensure applicability to their academic program requirements and plan of study.
- Transfer of credit from any outside source is designated on Middlesex degree audits and transcripts with a TR or TS (for Transfer) instead of a letter grade. Degree audits and transcripts identify sources of outside credit by name, whether from other colleges or StraighterLine.
- Credit recognition at Middlesex does not guarantee or imply credit transfer to any other colleges. Most regionally accredited colleges are looking for graded courses from other regionally accredited colleges and will have separate policies for American Council on Education credit recommendations. Students are responsible for determining whether StraighterLine partnerships exist for the colleges they will transfer to from Middlesex and, if so, how they work.
- While MassTransfer is designed to streamline credit transfer to Massachusetts public colleges, registrars' offices from public and private colleges generally require graded courses from regionally accredited colleges.
- Students must complete a minimum of 25% of their associate degree credits directly at MCC. This must include at least nine credits within their major. For certificate programs, students must complete a minimum of 75% of their credits directly at MCC.
- StraighterLine tuition or fees are not covered by any Middlesex financial aid.
