Transferring College Credit from High School to RWU

I'm a current high school student planning to attend Roger Williams University. I earned some college credits during high school. Does anyone know how I can transfer these credits to RWU? What’s the process like?

The process of transferring your college credits from high school to Roger Williams University (RWU) should be fairly straightforward. In general, most universities, including RWU, adhere to the following process:

First, you need to request an official transcript from your high school or the college where you earned these credits. This transcript should include all the college-level courses you took and the grades you received. Remember, the transcript must be official and come directly from the institution where the credits were earned.

After you have the transcript, you will send it to the Registrar’s Office at RWU, usually as part of your application process.

The Registrar will evaluate the transcript to determine which credits are eligible for transfer. This decision is typically based on the nature of the classes you took (matching the course content), the level of the courses, the grades you got, and accreditation of the institution where you earned these credits.

Following the assessment, the Registrar will inform you as to which credits have been accepted. Keep in mind, however, that acceptance of these credits doesn't necessarily mean these credits will apply directly to your chosen degree program. Some credits may count as electives, while others may fulfill specific degree requirements.

As a heads up, the exact details of this process may vary slightly from university to university. Your best bet is to reach out directly to the Admissions Office or the Registrar at RWU for the most accurate and specific information relating to their transfer credit policy.
