Transfer Students

Students transferring from another college must have official transcripts from each college attended sent to the Rhodes State College Office of Transfer for evaluation.

Transfer credit is determined by analysis of course subject content and credit hours. For any coursework completed prior to fall 2005, no course will be transferable if the letter grade is less than "C" or if the course does not apply to the curriculum of Rhodes State College.  For coursework completed fall 2005 and after, no course will be transferable if the letter  grade is less that "D" or if the course does not apply to the curriculum of Rhodes State College.  Coursework in which the grade of "C" or higher was earned will be awarded the transfer grade of "K".  Coursework in which the grade of "C-", "D+", or "D" was earned will be awarded the transfer grade of "KX".  Coursework receiving the transfer grade of "KX" will not fulfill any graduation requirement or prerequisite in which the "C Grade Policy" applies.  Coursework in which the grade "D-" was earned will not transfer.  Credit hours only will be accepted in transfer (no grade).  Semester hours will be accepted on the basis of one semester hour credit equals 1.5 quarter hours credit.

In order to receive a degree from Rhodes State College, students must successfully complete a minimum of 30 quarter hours in technical courses within their technology at Rhodes State College.

Students can be admitted to Rhodes State College as transients for a limited period of time even though they are regularly enrolled at another institution and expect to return to that institution.
