Advanced Standing and Transfer Credit from Other Colleges Advanced standing is defined as the application of awarded credit, earned by means other than instruction at this institution, toward satisfying program requirements. No more than 75 percent of a degree or certificate may be earned through advanced standing credit. Transcripts are evaluated for curricular students only. Courses included on an official transcript, equivalent and relevant to the curriculum in which the student is enrolled, will be applied toward credit in their program. Awarded credit is added to the student’s permanent record, but is not used for computation of the grade point average and does not carry a letter grade. The Office of the Registrar evaluates requested advanced standing and places advanced standing, by type, on the permanent record and transcript. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that all relevant and official documents have been forwarded to the Office of the Registrar. Transcripts are considered official if they are in a sealed envelope and carry the seal of the institution, or delivered through a transcripting service. Credit evaluation for courses taken at other VCCS colleges can be requested by completing a Request for Evaluation of a VCCS Transcript form; official transcripts from other VCCS colleges are not necessary . Awarded transfer credit is available to view on the Student Information System (SIS). Official transcripts received four weeks prior to the beginning of the desired semester or term will be placed on SIS prior to the final registration period.

Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) is a practice institutions use to award college credit for demonstrated competency and mastery through learning that has taken place outside their institution. At Reynolds Community College there are four broad categories where students earn credit for prior learning: (A) Credits from Post-Secondary Institutions (e.g., Transfer Credit); (B) Credit by Exam (AP, IB, CLEP, or Other Exams); (C) Credits Earned from Non-Traditional Program Completion (e.g., Certifications, Professional Licensure, etc.); (D) Credit for Learning Obtained Through Professional Work and Other Experiences (e.g., via Experiential Learning Portfolio Course). Since it is accredited, credits come in as college transfer credits. This is not offered at Reynolds; however, students who have taken credits from another school should refer to a different method of eligibility for credit for prior learning. Experiential Learning to Academic Credit Portfolio Development - the credit for prior learning portfolio method may award college credit to a student who has acquired significant knowledge outside of a traditional classroom setting. A grade of C or above is required for transfer of credit from other institutions. CPL methods include, but are not limited to, transfer courses, nationally recognized credit by examination programs, industry certifications, and military/employer training.

SDV Transfer Credit for Students with Previous Degrees International Transcripts Transfer Credits from Accredited Institutions Reynolds accepts transfer credit for college-level courses completed at an agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and verified through receipt of an official transcript. BACK TO TOP Transfer Credits from Non-Accredited Institutions Credits earned at post-secondary institutions without accreditation recognized by the U.S. Department of Education do not transfer to Reynolds even if the institution is accredited through a different commission such as a national accrediting organization or specialized and professional accreditors. However, in some cases where a post-secondary institution offers specialized educational opportunities (culinary institutes, etc.) and the institution is empowered by a state to award associate degrees or above, Reynolds faculty may pre-approve the recommendation to award equivalent transfer credit for courses within a specific discipline. BACK TO TOP Transcript Evaluation Process Reynolds accepts credits from other accredited U.S. colleges and universities for which a student has earned a grade of C or better. To have such credit evaluated, students must: Submit an official transcript from the previous institution Ensure placement in the degree plan of their choice An official transcript is one that has the seal of the institution or testing organization, the signature of an official of that institution or organization, and must be received in a sealed envelope from the originating institution that has no overt sign of having been opened or otherwise disturbed. Official transcripts may be mailed directly from the transferring institution to the Office of the Registrar, P.O. Box 85622 Richmond, VA 23285-5622 or sent electronically to registrar@reynolds.edu . Transfer courses are posted only if applicable to the student’s degree plan on record at the time of the request. Applicable credits will be transferred in with consideration given to elective courses requiring faculty review to be substituted for a direct course equivalency. Transferred courses are available to view in students’ MyReynolds accounts within two to four weeks of the Registrar’s Office receiving the transcript(s). Evaluations completed in the order of receipt. We are unable to accommodate on-demand or expedited requests. Plan accordingly and submit materials as early as possible. Processing times may be longer during peak periods (including weeks preceding the start of a new semester) due to the volume of requests received. Students should send their transcripts before or during their first semester at Reynolds so that the transcript is evaluated in a timely manner. Reynolds does not award credit based on another institution’s evaluations; all sources of credit will be evaluated based on Reynolds’ policies and guidelines. The evaluation of transcripts is intended as a service to students pursuing academic programs at Reynolds, and is not intended as a means for credentialing students or providing documentation for job promotions, etc. BACK TO TOP Required Grades Generally, only courses earning a grade of C or better will be accepted for transfer credit. Courses earning a grade of P (for a Pass/Fail course) and with the designation CR (for credit), may be accepted for transfer if the transcript indicates that credit hours have been awarded and if the transcript states that the P grade is the equivalent of an A-C (not D) grade. Courses graded with a Pass may be placed on the transcript for later use; they will be applied to the student’s program within two weeks of the Registrar’s Office receiving the transcript(s). Students interested in transferring to four-year institutions are advised to review the transfer institution’s policies and guidelines on the acceptance and awarding of Pass/Fail credits from Reynolds. Please note that the manner in which credit is accepted and/or applied varies by institution. BACK TO TOP Natural Science Course with Separate Laboratory For courses with separate lecture and laboratory grades, a C (not C-) average or better must be earned in order for credit to be awarded. Failing grades are not accepted for averaging. If a student has received a grade of F in either the lecture or the laboratory, the course will not be accepted. Grades are averaged using the course’s credit hour value. However, the portion of the course that received a passing grade may be accepted for elective credit and combined with the missing portion if taken from Reynolds or another college. BACK TO TOP Information Technology, Computer Science, and Science Transfer Credit Limits Transfer credit for Information Technology and Computer Science courses more than 10 years old are not routinely accepted. Exceptions must be approved by the Dean at the School of STEM and Trades. Transfer credit for science courses more than 10 years old is not awarded in Nursing, or other Health Science programs. BACK TO TOP SDV Transfer Credit for Students with Previous Degrees Students who have graduated with an associate, baccalaureate, or higher degree from an accredited U.S. institution of higher education are considered to have fulfilled Reynolds’ SDV requirement and should submit an official transcript for evaluation to be awarded credit. BACK TO TOP

Transfer Credit from International Institutions Credit from international post-secondary institutions may be awarded upon evaluation by a private evaluation agency that is a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services. This process pertains to both international students seeking Reynolds transfer credit and Reynolds students earning credits at foreign institutions during study-abroad experiences. The student will send official transcripts to an approved agency to obtain a course-by-course evaluation. All fees must be paid by the students directly to the evaluation agency.
