A system of rolling Admissions is employed by the College. Through this method, qualified transfer students are notified of acceptance 2 to 4 weeks from the date their application is complete. Although there is no specified application deadline, the College recommends that students submit applications by June 1 for the fall semester and December 1 for the spring semester. Qualified students are admitted to the College, however, as long as space is available. In collaboration with a number of regionally accredited 2 year institutions, Rivier College is pleased to offer articulation agreements to students who have received an associate's degree following completion of specific programs and who have earned a 2.5 cumulative grade point average.
Qualified students receive junior-class standing.
Students who qualify under such guidelines, and who complete the transfer application process as indicated, will be automatically accepted for admission. Please contact the Director of Undergraduate Admissions for further information. Assessment focuses primarily on college work completed at accredited colleges and universities. The high school record may be considered if the applicant has completed less than 12 credits on the collegiate level. Also considered are career goals, life experiences, extracurricular activities, and employment.
