Students who have taken college courses after graduation from high school and before entering Randolph-Macon College are considered transfer students.
Students who wish to transfer from other colleges to Randolph-Macon must meet the general requirements for admission. They must have complete transcripts forwarded from all colleges previously attended. A secondary school transcript must also be provided. Additionally, all transfer students must submit a Dean of Students' certification from their prior institution.
Transfer students may apply at www.rmc.edu/apply. The priority application deadline for entry in the fall semester is June 1; the deadline for entry in the spring semester is December 1.
Courses taken at other regionally accredited U.S. institutions or approved international institutions will be accepted in transfer provided that these courses are in subjects generally recognized as appropriate for liberal arts colleges and are either comparable to courses offered at Randolph-Macon or are applicable to a degree program at Randolph-Macon. Only courses which have been passed with the grade of C- or higher will be accepted in transfer. If credit was earned at a U.S. institution accredited by a non-regional accrediting body, the institution will be reviewed for potential credit transfer. Interested students should contact the registrar.
A student may receive a maximum of 75 semester hours through transfer work from two-year and four-year institutions and/or credit-by-examination (e.g. Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate.) For more information on transfer credits, see Transfer Credit.
A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 is required on all previous college work undertaken. Transfer applicants must be eligible to return to their current (or last attended) institutions at the time they desire to enroll at Randolph-Macon. Exceptions to these regulations must be approved by the Committee on Academic Policies.
At least one-half of the semester hours of the major or minor program must be taken at Randolph-Macon. Any transfer course counting on a major or minor is calculated into the major or minor GPA. Courses accepted in transfer will receive credit but will not count in the calculation of the cumulative Randolph-Macon GPA.
