To be considered for transfer admission, you must meet the following requirements:
You must complete those credits by June 1 prior to the September semester for September admission or by September 1 prior to the January semester for January admission.
Those not meeting the above requirements must apply as freshmen; however, any earned college credits will be evaluated for transfer.
The majority of students accepted as transfers have a 2.5 or higher grade point average with 24 to 29 earned college credits or a 2.4 or higher with an associate degree.
Students interested in transferring to Rhode Island College should submit:
Evaluation of transfer credit is done by the Office of Admissions. Transfer credit from a regionally accredited college or university is normally granted for those courses in which you have earned a grade of C or higher, if the course work is comparable to that which is taught at Rhode Island College.
Transfer credit will count toward the academic major or toward the general education component, or may be counted as elective credit. The courses involved must represent a full academic experience, with appropriate required readings, tests, papers, and examinations. Students may transfer in a maximum of 90 credits.
Courses taken Pass/Fail may be evaluated for transfer credit provided a student can offer official documentation of a grade of C or higher in the course. Noncredit courses and continuing education units will not transfer.
The College also accepts proficiency credit awarded through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests, Advanced Placement Tests (AP), and Dantes. For a list of CLEP and AP equivalencies accepted by the College, see the Transfer Guide for Students below.
An approximate number of your transferable credits is included with your letter of acceptance. An official evaluation of transfer credit is provided to each student during the orientation-registration program. Transfer students must complete a minimum of 45 credits at Rhode Island College to fulfill degree requirements.
For specific information on transfer credits, please call the admissions office or email us at transfer@ric.edu.
"The Transfer Guide for Students contains the course and program transfer agreements that are negotiated annually by the Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI), Rhode Island College (RIC) and the University of Rhode Island (URI). Beginning college at CCRI and then transferring to earn a bachelor's degree at RIC or the URI is a cost-effective way for students to achieve their educational goals."
