Transferring to CCRI
The Community College of Rhode Island does not automatically give credit for courses taken elsewhere. Students entering CCRI who have satisfactorily completed collegiate level courses at other regionally accredited institutions may have their courses evaluated by the Office of Enrollment Services once their academic goals have been established.
Grades of "C-" or better in courses required by the CCRI program of study is required for transfer, however, some programs may have more stringent policies. Except for literature, speech, and writing courses, credits completed beyond ten (10) years do not transfer, unless the student seeks approval of the chairperson responsible for the intended major. Additionally, applicants to the Nursing Program must have completed Human Physiology within the last five (5) years.
The Office of Enrollment Services does not evaluate any health or rehabilitative health courses taken at other institutions. Any student that has this type of coursework should contact the appropriate Chairperson to explore if transfer credit or challenge exams are appropriate. Additionally, individuals with military training or substantial life experience in a specific field may contact Peter Woodberry, Ph.D., Dean of Business and Technology to explore Prior Learning Assessment (PLA).
Transfer students are required to take the ACCUPLACER placement exams. However, if a student transfers the equivalent of ENGL 1010 Composition I, the writing portion of the exam may be waived. Failure to take the appropriate placement exams may cause problems when trying to register for courses that require testing scores as prerequisites.
The total amount of credits transferred, including, PLA awards, may not exceed one-half of the credits required for a degree or certificate program. For more information regarding transfer policies please review the College Catalog. The transfer credit review process takes an average of 4-6 weeks to complete; students will be notified by mail once transcripts have been evaluated.
