Transfer students who are eligible for re-entrance at the last college of attendance are also eligible for admission to RCC. Transfer students who are ineligible to return to the last college attended will not be eligible to attend RCC unless a written appeal is submitted to the dean of student development requesting consideration for provisional admission. This letter must be attached to the Student Ad­missions Appeal form which is available in the Admissions and Records Office. The dean of student development will review the request in con­sultation with the student affairs commit­tee, and may impose special conditions for admission of such students regarding course placement and course load. Transfer students who are ineligible to return to a particular curriculum in a previous college generally may not be allowed to enroll in the same curriculum at RCC until one semester elapses or until an approved program at the college is completed. The student affairs committee at RCC shall decide on each case and can impose special conditions for the admittance of such students. Since RCC does not transfer in the cumulative grade point average for transfer students, students are not admitted on a probationary basis.

Students transferring from another college or university should consult the Admissions and Records Office for a transfer evaluation. Official transcripts are only evaluated for transfer students who have declared a college major/curriculum at RCC. Coursework transferred to RCC must represent collegiate coursework applicable to the student’s curriculum, with course content and level of instruction resulting in student competencies at least equivalent to those of students enrolled in RCC’s curricula. Collegiate coursework from regionally accredited institutions typically meets the above criteria. Credit will not be given for courses with grades lower than “C” and grade point averages from prior institutions will not be transferred. Credit eval­uations are completed in consultation with the campus dean and require several weeks for processing. Transfer students may be advised to repeat courses if it would clearly be advantageous to their curriculum advancement.
