Students transferring to STC from other schools are encouraged to submit applications and sealed official transcripts to Student Services. As a postsecondary institution, STC is part of Florida's statewide course numbering system, which facilitates the transfer of courses among participating institutions. Transfer students from outside the school are admitted at their current level of competency upon demonstration and/or documentation of previously mastered levels.

For transfers within the school from one program to another, student requests should be submitted to the Student Services Office.

The Florida Department of Education has an adopted common course numbering system. Credits earned within this system are accepted at face value. Credits earned outside of this system are subject to evaluation by Suncoast Technical College.
