Advice on transferring community college credits to RIT?

Is there anyone here who's transferred their community college credits to RIT? I'm majoring in computer science and wondering how the credit transfer process was for you. Any specific advice would be awesome!

Transferring community college credits to RIT or any four-year institution requires careful planning and communication. Here are some steps you can follow based on what I know:

1. Understand RIT's Transfer Policies: Check the Rochester Institute of Technology's (RIT) policies on credit transfers. RIT typically accepts transfer credits for courses completed with a grade of 'C' or better from regionally accredited institutions.

2. Use Transfer Credit Equivalencies System: RIT has an online self-service tool called the Transfer Credit Equivalencies System. It provides transfer equivalency information for a lot of colleges, showing how specific courses at your current institution will transfer to RIT.

3. Contact a Transfer Advisor: Reach out to RIT's transfer advisors or the admissions office to discuss your credits. They can give you a preliminary evaluation.

4. Send Transcripts: You'll need to send an official transcript from your community college to RIT's admissions office. Be ready to provide this even if some credit equivalency is not available.

5. Check Core Requirements: Make sure that some of the classes you're taking at your community college align with RIT's computer science degree requirements. You won't get the maximum transfer credits if the courses you've taken don't line up with RIT's curriculum.

Remember that the process can take time and might require persistence, especially if you need to petition for credit for specific community college coursework. Transfer students often face a few bumps in the road, so try to stay patient and keep the lines of communication open with RIT. Good luck!
