Academic Policies
Transfer Credit
Rockland Community College (RCC) welcomes students who have completed coursework at other institutions and who wish to continue their studies at RCC. If students are transferring from another college, RCC will evaluate their credits based on the degree they intend to pursue at RCC. At least half the number of credits required for the degree must be completed at RCC, with the exception of the LPN to RN Express Program. For students seeking a certificate, half the number of credits required for this certificate must be completed at RCC.
The maximum number of credits transferable to RCC for an Associates degree is 32 credits, with the exception of students entering with Automotive Service Excellence Certification A1‐A8. The maximum number of credits transferable to RCC for a certificate is 15 credits. Courses for which a student has earned a grade lower than a “C” will not be accepted for transfer.
