Per MnSCU policy 3.4.1, Century College may not admit students who have been suspended for academic or disciplinary reasons.
- Students Suspended from Other Institutions.
Subpart A. Students Suspended for Academic Reasons. Students on academic suspension from a Minnesota State College or University shall not be admitted to another college or university in the system during the term of that suspension unless they demonstrate potential for being successful in the particular program to which they apply.
Subpart B. Students Suspended for Disciplinary Reasons. Students who have been suspended or expelled for disciplinary reasons from any postsecondary institution may be denied admission to a Minnesota State College or University.
- If you have attended or are currently attending one or more MnSCU institutions (not including the University of
Minnesota) and have applied to Century, your official transcript from a MnSCU institution(s) may be
electronically retrieved by Century College at no cost.
Email Century's DARS and Transfer Student Services Office

If you have holds on your records (including, but not limited to, unpaid balances)
from the MnSCU institution you previously attended, your transcripts cannot be retrieved electronically.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your records are free of holds.
You must notify Century's
DARS and Transfer Student Services Office when:
