Date adopted:_________________________

Purpose Articulation and transfer guidelines facilitate cooperation between higher education institutions for the purpose of accommodating the needs and interests of students who earn credit at one institution and choose to transfer to another. Successful transfer minimizes loss of time and duplication for students and optimizes the use of institutional resources. The policy recognizes that each institution has a separate and distinct mission, and that each has a responsibility to establish and maintain academic quality within that mission. Underlying that policy is an attitude of mutual respect and cooperation between the institutions and recognition that the primary objective of this articulation agreement is to benefit students. Guidelines and Procedures Institutional Requirements Each higher education institution has the responsibility of establishing, maintaining and communicating requirements to students seeking to complete courses and programs and to earn certificates and degrees at the institution. Transfer Student Admission Admission of transfer students will be determined by the receiving institution following an assessment of academic performance and standing as well as eligibility for entrance to a specific program. If the number of transfer students seeking admission to a particular program exceeds the number that can be accommodated, program admission decisions will be based on criteria developed and promulgated by the institution; these criteria shall provide fair treatment for institutional students and for transfer students.

1

Direction of Transfer The direction of student transfer (two-year to four-year, four-year to two-year) shall not affect transferability of credit, unless so noted. Academic Transcript Institutions shall keep a complete student academic transcript. The transcript shall clearly identify each student and include all academic work for which the student was enrolled during each semester, the end-of-semester status in each course, grade and credit awarded. The transcript shall clearly indicate the source of the credit (i.e. examination, course, assessment of experiences). A statement explaining grading policy of the institution shall be part of each transcript. Course Prerequisites All requirements and prerequisites for entrance into courses and programs shall be stated in the official catalog in a consistent manner. The determination of such requirements and prerequisites is the responsibility of the institution awarding the degree. Transfer students who have completed equivalent prerequisite courses and achieved an acceptable grade should not be required to repeat such prerequisite courses. Earned Credit A grade of “C” is the minimally acceptable grade for transfer of elective or specific course credit. In some instances, where noted, a higher grade may be required for specific course credit. A grade of “C” in those instances would be granted elective credit only. Pass/Fail Credit The application of pass/fail grading systems to transfer students shall be consistent with the application of those systems to students who entered the institution as freshmen. Transfer students should consult the catalog of the institution to which they are transferring regarding these policies. Non-Traditional Learning and Evaluation of Credit The determination of the credit value of non-traditional learning is typically achieved through an examination or other standardized or institutionally-accepted form of assessing prior learning. Such policies, where applicable, shall be clearly stated in the official catalog. For credit by examination, information must be available that includes the names of tests for which credit by examination is given (Advanced Placement, general and subject matter CLEP, ACT, institutional, etc.), and score levels which indicate that course work requirements comparable to classroom situations have been met. For the college-Level Examination Program (CLEP), the receiving institution will accept the American Council on Education (ACE) recommended credit-granting score for the year in which the examination was taken. Credit awarded through examination or other forms of assessment shall be identified as such on the transcript. The transcripted credits will be honored by the receiving institution. Resolution of Equivalency Disputes From time to time there may be inter-institutional disagreements among the faculty of subject matter disciplines. These disagreements shall normally be resolved at the chairperson level. Conflicts not resolved at the chairperson level shall be referred to the appropriate academic deans.

Transfer Guide Inter-institutional agreements shall appear in a single document entitled: Transfer Guide for Students: Rhode Island College and Bristol Community College (hereafter, the guide). The guide is an integral part of the articulation/transfer policy and procedures and shall be made available for use by students, faculty and staff. The guide shall be reviewed on an annual basis for any changes needed including course additions, changes or deletions. Any amendments to the guide shall be noted and dated as part of the formal agreement. Course Equivalencies The institutions shall identify courses that are equivalent. This identification shall be on a discipline-by-discipline basis and shall appear in the guide. Program to Program Articulation The institutions shall work cooperatively to establish, where possible, program to program articulation agreements to further facilitate smooth and efficient transfer. The first of these agreements has been developed for Communications (Associate of Arts in Communication to BA in Communications). General Education Requirements General education requirements are determined by each institution, each of which has the continuing responsibility of determining the character of its own program, for its own degree purposes. General education program requirements shall be clearly stated in the institutional catalog and in the guide. Students who intend to transfer to another institution should review that institution’s general education requirements and discuss their plans with admissions counselors or advisors in their intended majors. Student Rights and Responsibilities Students who intend to transfer must inform themselves of the transfer admission requirements, and the program and degree requirements of the institution to which they expect to transfer. Students who through no fault of their own encounter legitimate difficulties in transferring from one institution to another must seek resolution of these difficulties through institutional procedures, with the assistance of academic advisors. Students who have exhausted all administrative remedies available at the institution to which the transfer credit is being sought and who has been unable to satisfactorily resolve the problem may appeal in writing to the articulation/transfer officer at the institution that awarded the credit. The articulation/transfer officer shall receive and consider all relevant materials and shall review the cases with appropriate representatives of the receiving institution so that a determination may be made as to the transferability of the courses or earned credits being contested.

RIC and BCC General Education Equivalents and Mathematics Requirements

All full degree programs require the completion of 11 general education courses. General education courses consist of Core Requirement and Distribution Requirement courses, and the writing course. Ten of the 11 required courses may be completed at Bristol Community College and transferred to Rhode Island College if a grade of “C” or better is earned. Below is a listing of Rhode Island College general education courses for which an approved equivalent exists at Bristol Community College (equivalent in parentheses). Rhode Island College courses numbered 175 are a generic general education equivalent for a specific course from the sending institution.

In addition, the College has a mathematics requirement separate from the General Education Requirements. There are equivalent courses at BCC: Mathematics Requirement: Entering transfer students who receive transfer credit for a course deemed equivalent to Mathematics 010 or 177 or higher will have met the College Mathematics Requirement: MTH 01 + MTH 1N, or MTH 14, MTH 17, MTH 19 or MTH 31. Entering transfer students who score 480 or better on the quantitative portion of the SAT will have met the College Mathematics Requirement.
