Transfer of College Credit to Richland

A student who has been accepted as a Richland Community College student may apply for college credit for courses taken at a regionally accredited postsecondary institution, as recognized by the Higher Education Directory, and which meet a course or graduation requirement 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 charged by their prior institutions.

Approved transfer courses will count toward Richland degree or certificate requirements.

Transfer credit will not be included in computing the student’s GPA at Richland. Approved credit hours will be recorded on the student’s academic record after a formal evaluation of the transfer work. Students are notified via automated email when transfer courses are approved and can be viewed on their degree audit in myRichland.
