If you're hoping to earn credit for AP or IB courses that you took in high school, please send us your AP test scores and/or IB test scores.

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 
Credit for a 102-level language will also satisfy the college’s second language requirement  

$418 per credit = a savings of approximately $1,672 

Gold Seal of Biliteracy: 8 Credits  
Credit for 102 and 113-level languages satisfies the second language requirement; 113 serves as the pre-requisite for 115 in the major  

$418 per credit = a savings of approximately $3,344

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.
