Interstate Passport
We know that transferring schools can be stressful. That’s why Greenville Technical College is a member of the Interstate Passport Network, a network of colleges and universities providing students with a streamlined way to transfer general education.
How does Interstate Passport help?
Interstate Passport is a simpler way for students to transfer courses from one institution to another. Rather than transferring your courses individually, earning a passport means all of your lower-division general education courses will be accepted as one block. Your passport will be valid at any network member institution to which you are admitted.
Interstate Passport Advantages
- Removes obstacles for students, making the transfer process more predictable
- Can shorten time to degree, thus saving students money
- Eliminates unnecessary repetition of academic work already achieved
- Enables participating institutions to better serve a nationwide pool of well-prepared transfer students

What is Interstate Passport?
The Interstate Passport Network is a network of regionally-accredited institutions that agree to transfer completed general education requirements as a block in a seamless and efficient process among its members. Students who transfer with a Passport to another Network-member institution will not have to repeat or take additional courses to satisfy lower-division general education requirements.
Earning a Passport recognizes that a student has achieved learning outcomes in the following nine knowledge and skill areas, which all Network member institutions agree are consistent with their own general education learning outcomes:
- Foundational Skills: oral communication, written communication, quantitative literacy
- Knowledge of Concepts: natural sciences, human cultures, creative expression, human society and the individual
- Cross-cutting Skills: critical thinking and teamwork/value systems.
