Transfer Credit

What is Transfer Credit?

Transfer credit is one type of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process at Red River College.

Transfer credit is the recognition of credit for courses or programs completed at another recognized post-secondary institution or in another Red River College program.

Transfer credits are given when the learning meets the standards required by the program in which the credit is sought. The course(s) must have been of equivalent credit hours and with equivalent learning outcomes or course content.

Who should apply?

Any student who has previous courses from another recognized post-secondary institution or a previous RRC program that may be equivalent to RRC courses.

When should you apply?

If you are in a full-time program, you can submit your request any time after you have paid your deposit to confirm your seat in the program.

Since it can take considerable time for course work to be assessed for transfer credit, you are encouraged to submit your transfer credit application and required documents as early as possible once you have paid your deposit. For part-time programs, students must be registered in at least once course in their program of choice.
