Healthcare Training Institute can accept previous educational clock hours (credits) from an accredited school or state approved institution or college towards an appropriate program after review by Healthcare Training Institute’s administrative staff. Previous educational training must meet Healthcare Training Institute’s course/program curriculum requirements, comparability, applicability, and prerequisites. Accordingly, a prospective student must request an official transcript be sent to the school before the start of the program. If the transcript is approved for the section(s) of course/program, the student will not need to attend the specific section(s) of course/program and the transferred credits will be converted into clock hours per formula one semester credit hour is equal to 45 units. The section(s) will be listed as transfer clock hours (TCH) only on the student transcript and the timeframe in which to complete the course will be shortened. Since these courses will not carry grades, they will not be included in the GPA calculation. These courses will only be applied toward graduation requirements. The transfer student can transfer maximum number of the credit hours to the current program from the other school or institution with a minimum of a C (2.0 GPA) or better for the transferable credits according to Transfer of Credits chart below.For example, if a transfer student wishes to attend the Medical Assistant Technician program of 900 clock hours at HTI, the student can transfer up to maximum of 165 clock hours provided they carry at least a 2.0 GPA. The additional 735 clock hours will be earned at HTI. Please refer to Transfer of Credits Chart for details. Additional documentation such as course descriptions, syllabi, and academic catalogs may be necessary to evaluate whether the transferred course is equivalent to the course(s) required for the completion of the current program.
Re-entry students will be awarded credit for prior successfully completed section of the student’s program, which must be documented by grade and attendance. However a HTI graduate can apply all credits of didactic section(s), earned at HTI, toward another program within five years from the date of completion, where the credits earned from hands- on need to be revaluated within two years after the date of completion in order to apply. Any credit earned over five years old must be evaluated through written exam.
