Transfer of College Credit to Richland

A student who has been officially accepted as a Richland Community College student may apply for and receive college credit for courses taken at a regionally accredited postsecondary institution, as recognized by the Higher Education Directory, and which meet the course objectives of his or her academic program required for graduation at Richland Community College.

Students who wish to transfer credit earned at another accredited college or university must request an official transcript from the college attended. The transcript should be sent directly from the college or university to Richland’s Student Success Center. Transcripts hand-delivered to the Student Success Center will only be accepted in a sealed, tamper-free envelope from the institution. The student requesting a transfer of credit must pay any applicable transcript fees.

Approved credit hours will be applied toward the total number of hours needed for the degree or certificate, provided the average grade for all such work is “C” or better.

Transfer credit will not be included in computing the student’s grade point average at Richland. Approved credit hours will be recorded on the student’s academic record after a formal evaluation of the transfer work.
