Incoming first-year students must schedule and take their mathematics placement exam prior to attending orientation. This allows students to schedule the appropriate mathematics and/or science course during orientation. 

Students opting not to take the placement exam will begin their math courses at Math 010 (no credits towards degree) to satisfy the math milestone.

Register for the math placement exam on the MyRIC portal.

The Seal of Biliteracy

If the Seal of Biliteracy is on your high school transcript, you will receive college credit at Rhode Island College!

Silver Seal of Biliteracy: 4 Credits 

You will receive credit for a relevant 113-level language course (4 credits), which will satisfy the college’s second language requirement. ($418 per credit = a savings of approximately $1,672) 

Gold Seal of Biliteracy: 8 Credits 

You will receive credit for a relevant 113 and 114-level language course (totaling 8 credits), which will satisfy the college's second language requirement. ($418 per credit = a savings of approximately $3,344)

Please Note: If you satisfy the requirements but the Seal of Biliteracy isn’t on your transcript, please have your school counselor email us with your name and the level you’ve achieved. We will waive the high school foreign language requirement and award college credit! If your state does not award Gold/Silver levels, score reports from official testing agencies that show Advanced-Low/Intermediate-Mid may be used to determine the Seal level from your state.
