Challenge for Credit

Credits may be awarded for prior education and experiential learning when students successfully pass appropriate examinations/tests of the department.

Declaration of Waiver

The College does its best to update program information regularly so that our customers are not inconvenienced. However, on occasion, changes do occur. Therefore, the College reserves the right to modify or cancel any program, option, course, program objective, fee, schedule, or location without notice or prejudice.

Recognition of Prior Learning

Students demonstrating acquired knowledge from prior education, work and life experiences may be able to convert this learning into college credits. For further information, please contact the RPL Advisor at 204-632-3094 or find out more on the web.

The Audit Option

This is the “no-tests, no-assignments, no-stress” course. Take any credit course for pure pleasure and enjoyment—without the work! (Some prerequisites may apply.) At your first class, let the instructor know that you are auditing, then participate and experience the joy of learning.

Transfer of Credit

Many courses are transferable to a full-time program at Red River College Polytechnic or vice versa. Transfer credit will be given if program requirements are met, subject to approval. Credit for courses taken at other educational institutions may be granted towards Red River College Polytechnic courses and programs. A formal application with proper documentation is required to transfer credits.
