THE JOINT ADMISSIONS AWARD FOR ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT

Academically successful CCRI students who are enrolled under the JAA are entitled to a tuition reduction through the Joint Admissions Award for Academic Achievement (JA-AAA) when they enroll at URI. To qualify for the JA-AAA, students must be active participants in the JAA, earn an associate's degree from CCRI, and graduate with at least a 3.0 cumulative grade point average (GPA). The amount of the tuition reduction for the first year at URI depends on the students, cumulative GPA upon graduation from CCRI:

• A cumulative GPA of 3.0 results in a 10% reduction off of instate tuition
• A cumulative GPA of 3.25 results in a 20% reduction off of instate tuition
• A cumulative GPA of 3.5 or above results in a 30% reduction off of instate tuition

Students paying out of state tuition will receive the dollar equivalencies to the aforementioned discounts

Students who maintain at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA at URI can renew the tuition waiver for a second or third year. For more information please to go to http://www.ritransfers.org/joint-admissions-agreement

• Part time students are eligible for tuition discount
• Students on an approved Leave of Absence (LOA) can receive the tuition discount when they return to URI
• Students who withdraw from URI and then return are not eligible for tuition discount
