CCRI does not automatically give credit for courses taken elsewhere. Students entering the Community College of Rhode Island who have satisfactorily completed collegiate level courses at other regionally accredited post-secondary institutions may have their courses evaluated by the Office of Enrollment Services at the College once their programs and goals have been established. Transcript evaluation takes an average of 4-6 weeks to complete. Students will be notified by mail once transcripts have been evaluated.
Community College of Rhode Island accepts transfer students from other colleges and grants transfer credit for comparable courses with satisfactory grades. Students transferring credit to the Community College of Rhode Island must have a grade of "C-" or better in courses required by the CCRI program of study.
Except for English, Writing, and Speech, credits completed beyond ten (10) years do not transfer. If you are applying to the Nursing Program, Human Physiology must have been completed within the last five (5) years. If you have substantial life experience in a particular field, you need to contact Peter Woodberry, Ph.D., Dean of Business and Technology for life skills or military credit. Dean Woodberry can be reached at 825-2147.
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.

In most cases, a student must attend the Community College (in a full or part-time status) during the semester in which the degree is to be awarded. However, a student who needs nine or fewer credits for graduation may take those credits at another regionally accredited post-secondary institution and transfer them back to the Community College in order to complete the degree. In that case, the student need not be enrolled at CCRI during the semester in which he/she graduates. Credits transferred back to the College will be counted as part of the total number of transfer credits in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph.
A policy established by the Board of Governors for Higher Education for the State of Rhode Island states that a student who pays full-time tuition "of one of the public institutions of higher education in Rhode Island may enroll for a maximum of seven credit hours of study per semester at one of the other public institutions at no additional expense" subject to certain requirements of each institution's own policies. Interested students should contact the Office of Enrollment Services.
The total of transfer credits from regionally accredited institutions of higher education and the credits awarded for prior non-traditional educational experiences may not exceed one-half of the credits required for a degree.
Please note: Foreign transcripts must be evaluated by an outside agency prior to submission to the Community College of Rhode Island Office of Enrollment Services. The following are the established agencies that translate foreign credentials to English:
