CCAC Welcomes Pittsburgh Technical College Students
If you’re a Pittsburgh Technical College (PTC) student in one of the Teach-Out programs, here’s what you need to know about transferring to CCAC:
- You will be considered a transfer student at CCAC.
- If you are in good academic standing at PTC, you can transfer to a similar program at CCAC, though admission to limited enrollment programs (like Nursing) isn’t guaranteed, and you must meet all other requirements. CCAC will help you understand the qualifications needed for these programs.
- You will pay the same low tuition rates as other CCAC students.
- You can apply for scholarships and financial aid at CCAC by submitting the FAFSA.
- CCAC will accept all PTC credits with a grade of “C” or better as long as they are relevant to your program. CCAC will also review any transfer credits PTC awarded.
In summary, CCAC will welcome you and treat you fairly. Your credits will be honored, financial aid will be made available to you, and advisors will make your transition to CCAC as smooth as possible.

Send your transcript to CCAC
If you graduated from high school within the last five years and had an overall graduating GPA of 2.7 or higher, email your last semester/final high school transcript to admissions@ccac.edu.
Another college? Send your official transcript from each college you attended to transcripts@ccac.edu.
Note to seniors in high school: Have your transcript sent ONLY after the first two grading periods or first semester of your senior year. Any transcript sent without those grades and GPA on it cannot be used for placement test exemptions.
Prepare for Placement Tests
As a new student, you may need to take several placement tests before you register for classes.
These tests are not an entrance exam. They simply help you choose the right classes so you can succeed in college.
These tests are offered online, so you can take them anytime, anywhere.
Our Placement Testing page includes information about exemptions and accommodations, registration links, and additional resources.
