Transfer Credit

How many credits may an enrolled student transfer to Rhodes?
Students may transfer to Rhodes up to 50 percent of the credits required for a degree, based on the guidelines found in the college catalogue.

Will transfer credit count towards Foundation requirements?

• Transfer credit will not fulfill Foundation requirements for matriculated students. However, transfer credit may be used to fulfill elective credits or credits toward the major. Approval of the appropriate department chair is required.
• Students who enter the College with transfer credit (transfer students or dual enrollment students) may use transfer credit to satisfy Foundation requirements under the following guidelines:
  • Courses presented with two or three semester hours or less than six quarter hours will be given the appropriate and corresponding number of credits of transfer credit.
  • Credit from several courses may be combined to total four or more credits and therefore satisfy a foundation requirement.
  • A three-credit course may be used to satisfy a foundation requirement if the corresponding course in the department meets that same requirement.
  • A three-credit course may be used to satisfy a major requirement if the corresponding course in the department meets that same requirement unless specifically disallowed by the department chair.
