College/University Catalogs
The CCRI, RIC or URI catalogs contain degree requirements for all undergraduate and graduate programs of study, rules that affect students, descriptions of courses, and a list of the faculty and administration of the College. You must know the rules given in the catalog for your degree program. The catalog is the document of authority for all students. For more information about courses for registration purposes, see the current CCRI, RIC, or URI bulletin.

Transcripts
You need to request OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS from the Registrars' Office. This office may also be called Enrollment Services or the Records Office. You may need to go in person to the Registrar to sign a transcript release form and pay a small fee.

These transcripts need to be sent TWICE as part of the transfer admission process: FIRST when you apply for admission and SECOND when you have completed your coursework at the college(s) from which you are transferring. This step is important so that all of your credits can be evaluated prior to choosing your next courses.

Official transcripts have the Registrar's seal on them and come in a sealed envelope (don't open the envelope!). Send it unopened to the college or university, along with other information required by the admissions process.

Transcript information

Credit Evaluation
You will definitely want to have your transcripts from the previous college(s) that you attended evaluated for transfer credit. You can request an appointment to discuss what credits transferred and how these credits can be applied to a degree. Keep all of your syllabi from the courses you have completed in case there is a question about transferability. The information on the syllabus may be sufficient to demonstrate course equivalency. You might also be asked for course or program descriptions from the college catalog.

CCRI: Office of Enrollment Services performs the evaluation of transcripts and the acceptance of credits. After applying to CCRI all official transcripts should be sent to the Flanagan Campus in Lincoln for evaluation. To attend a transfer admissions session students should contact the Office of Enrollment Services at 401-825-2003.
RIC: Contact the Admissions Office at 456-8234 or by e-mail.
A Transfer Admissions Officer reviews and accepts the credit. Students need to carefully review the information received from the Admissions Offices with regard to the awarding of transfer credits.
URI: Please contact the academic college (listed on the transfer web page) to find out more about un-official credit evaluations. An official transfer credit evaluation is not issued until you have submitted a non-refundable enrollment deposit.

Grades don't transfer from one institution to another. Only credits transfer. For the maximum number of credits that can be transferred, ask the admissions officer at the receiving institution.

Applications Deadlines
In planning to transfer, be sure to leave enough time to complete the application forms and have all the requested information and transcripts sent in before the deadline.

CCRI deadlines:
The Office of Admissions and Records begins processing applications for programs which begin in the spring (January) semester, summer (June) and fall (September) semester on September 1 prior to the date of intended entry. A cutoff date may be imposed in many of the career programs due to the large number of applications. Students are encouraged to apply early.
RIC deadlines:
June 1 for transfer applicants; November 15 for spring applications
URI deadlines:
Transfer candidates must apply for admission by May 1. Transfer students interested in January admissions must apply by November 1.
