College and University Transfer Credit Credit is granted for course work completed at regionally accredited colleges and universities and that apply to the student's academic program at HCC. Generally, there is no time expiration on college credit, but some subjects may not be accepted depending on how long ago they were completed. Credit for courses accepted from other institutions satisfy HCC's graduation requirements. The course grades, however, are not calculated in the grade point average at HCC. For students transferring from any University of Maryland system institution, all applicable general education coursework with a grade of "D" or above will be accepted in transfer. The only exception to this is for ENG-101 (or its equivalencies), which if taken Fall, 2017 or after, requires a grade of "C" or better. For program requirements, grades of "D" will be accepted only if the grade point average for the block of courses is 2.0 or higher. HCC will convert courses taken at institutions that operate on the quarter system to semester hours. Quarter hours are multiplied by 2/3 to equal semester hours. Students may transfer up to 75 percent of their degree or certificate requirements. All transfer students working for a degree or certificate must take at least 25 percent of their credits at HCC.HCC follows the transfer guidelines as established in COMAR, which pertains to all MD public institutions. While not required to apply these guidelines to private or out-of-state institutions, HCC generally also applies the same guidelines.

Credit for Prior Learning Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) recognizes learning gained outside of a traditional college classroom. Eligible students may earn academic credit based on prior learning, helping reduce the time and cost required to complete a degree or certificate. CPL may be awarded through methods such as standardized exams, military training, work experience, industry credentials, and skills validation. Examples include AP, CLEP, DANTES/DSST, International Baccalaureate, Illinois State Seal of Biliteracy, and approved licenses. For more information, visit the RVC Credit for Prior Learning page.

Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) The College may award Credits for Prior Learning (“CPL”) as designated by law and stat regulations for the following prior learning methods: Apprenticeship State or Industry Recognized Credentials/Continuing Education to Curriculum Credit Courses listed in high school to community college articulation agreements Military education and training Standardized examinations Challenge exams/Proficiency Portfolio assessment Public Safety Training (“PST”) prefix courses The College may award curriculum CPL when the documentation of prior learning meets or exceeds a demonstration of learning outcomes at the College’s standards for awarding credit for the corresponding curriculum course. The College shall award CPL in a manner consistent with State Board regulations (Policy 5.2.9). To be eligible to receive CPL, students must: Meet all admission requirements for the program of study, Be enrolled in a curriculum program to which the credit will directly apply, and Request a prior learning assessment consistent with Procedure 5.2.9.1 For more information on Credit for Prior Learning, see Policy 5.2.9 [Direct link:https://montgomerycommunitycollege.diligent.community/home/policies/policydoc/eed 271de-e1ce-497c-a4d7-09c90d81b8ee]. 44

Students seeking CPL via industry recognized and/or state regulated credentials will complete a request form for a prior learning assessment, attach supporting documentation that substantiates credential attainment, and submit it to the designated college official or office for consideration.

Courses in the Combined Course Library with a Public Safety Training (PST) prefix may be u sed for awarding prior learning credit for industry -recognized public safety training and/or credentials.

Credits for Prior Learning/Credit by Validation Students may be awarded up to 15 credits for work and life experience as validated by HCC via Portfolios, Advanced Standing and/or Institutional (or Challenge) examinations. These credits cannot be used to fulfill the required minimum credits in residence for graduation, and may not be honored by other institutions. Examples of this are listed below.

Criteria for Evaluation of Transferable Credits Transfer credit must be earned at a regionally accredited institution. Whenever possible, RVC course equivalents for 100- and 200-level credits are awarded. If this is not possible, up to 21 credits of electives may be granted. 300-level (junior-level) credits will transfer on a course-by-course basis once equivalency is determined. 400-level credits require permission from the appropriate dean if a potential equivalency is determined. Students may be required to provide course descriptions or syllabi to complete the transfer credit process. Elective credit may be re-evaluated by submitting a syllabus to the Records and Registration Office. RVC accepts “D” grades only if the overall GPA is 2.0. Refer to course descriptions at the back of this catalog for minimum course grade requirements. Additional information is provided in the degree requirements for the Associate of Arts and Associate in Science, and in the degree and certificate requirements for Career and Technical Education Programs. Transfer credit does not affect the cumulative GPA at RVC. All new students intending to earn an Associate of Arts, Associate in Science, or Associate in Engineering Science are required to complete STU 100. It is recommended that this requirement be completed during the first academic semester. Students intending to earn an Associate in Applied Science degree or a certificate are not required to complete STU 100 but are strongly encouraged to do so. RVC does not honor substitutions or waivers made at another institution unless approved by the appropriate dean. Only degree- or certificate-required courses will be transferred into a student’s record. A maximum of 49 transfer credits will be applied. A minimum of 15 RVC credits is required to complete an RVC degree or certificate. Foreign transfer credit must be evaluated by Education Credential Evaluators. Military transfer credit may be awarded upon evaluation of the Joint Services Transcript (JST). The JST can be ordered at no cost to the student through the Joint Services Transcript website (Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard). Air Force students must request an unopened copy of their official transcripts from the Community College of the Air Force. In response to the Credit for Military Experience Act (HB 3701), the college uses the American Council on Education (ACE) to conduct and facilitate academic reviews of military courses and occupations. Four (4) Fitness, Wellness, and Sport (FWS) credits are automatically awarded to students who have completed basic training. The evaluation of transfer credit may require course descriptions or syllabi. Course content must be equivalent to a Rock Valley College course to transfer as equivalent credit. Vocational elective credit may be awarded if Rock Valley College does not offer an equivalent course. Vocational elective credit cannot be used toward degree completion.

Students desiring to transfer credits into the curriculum division from a course completed through a Continuing Education program at an accredited post- secondary institution may do so according to the following guidelines: The student must request that the Director of Enrollment review his/her Continuing Education course work for possible transfer credit into a curriculum program.

Reverse Transfer Credit Reverse transfer credit is a program designed for students who attended a community college and then transferred to a university without earning their associate’s degree. Credits successfully completed at a university may be transferable back to your community college and used to determine if these courses will satisfy any remaining degree requirements for your associate’s degree. This is similar to the process on how credits transferred from your community college to a university - just in reverse. The community college will evaluate your university work and determine if credits taken at the University will fulfill any and all remaining requirements for your associate’s degree. All Illinois public universities and Rockford University participate in this partnership with Rock Valley College.
