A maximum of 30 transfer credits will be accepted toward any Associate Degree at Richard Bland College.

Credit for Prior Learning Richard Bland College recognizes the Advanced Placement Program from The College Board (AP), International Baccalaureate Tests of the College Entrance Examination Board (IB), College Level Examination Program (CLEP), and Cambridge International Examination (CIE) as legitimate means of acquiring college credit for qualified students who have completed college level courses. It is the responsibility of the student to see that official documentation of test scores are furnished to the Registrar to be evaluated by the appropriate academic officer. Credit will be awarded on the basis of recommendations suggested by the American Council on Education (ACE) and approved by the faculty of Richard Bland College.
