Credit Equivalency for Military Service and Training
A student who has been officially accepted as a Richland Community College student may apply for and receive college credit for courses taken while serving in the military if the courses meet the objectives of the student's declared academic program as required for graduation from Richland Community College. Consideration for the awarding of credit for military experience and training will be guided by the college credit recommendations developed by the American Council on Education. Approved credit will be posted to the student’s record after a minimum of eight (8) semester hours of 100-level or above credit has been earned at the College. Contact the Registrar for further information.
