Credits can be transferred from any accredited school. For courses to be transferable to RIT and the BPC specifically, a grade of C or higher needs to have been awarded as well as a similar course is required by this department. RIT is currently on a 10 week quarter system, so semester credits are often awarded at a 1.5x factor in many cases.
All transfer credits are negotiable if there is merit to the challenge.
For Adult learners, credit can also be awarded for LIFE experience. This is handled on a case by case basis. Credits awarded in this manner are subject to all fees as assessed by the RIT policies manual.
