| Transfer Credit Evaluation |
Transcripts
are evaluated within 21 days of a students' acceptance to the University of
Rhode Island. All new students accepted into the College of Arts &
Sciences, and all new students who are Undeclared in their major, will have
their transcripts evaluated by the Transfer Resource Center. *Please note that courses only with a grade
of C or better will be considered for transfer.
A review
of course content determines how courses are evaluated. All "college level
courses" successfully completed at an accredited institution will be
determined to meet requirements as either transferable
credits, general education credits,
or as elective credits.
Once the
transcript is posted, we will mail you a welcome letter, along with your
transfer credit report.
All other
colleges at the University of Rhode Island are responsible for completing
transfer credit evaluations for their majors. These include the College of Business, Engineering, Pharmacy, Human Science &
Services, Environment Life Sciences, and Nursing.
Please contact each college to determine the status of your transfer credit
evaluation.

How to Interpret your
Transfer Credit Evaluation
There are four different ways how your credits can transfer into the University. Listed below is a detailed explanation of what you might find on your URI transcript.
- Course
to course equivalency: A course
to course equivalency is when a course from another institution matches a
specific URI course.
Example:
| Community College or RI | = |
University of Rhode
Island
|
| ENGL 1270 Contemporary Drama | THE
383 History of Modern Theatre
|
- Course to General Education equivalency: A course to general education equivalency is when a course from another institution does not have a direct URI equivalency but still fulfills a general education category.
Example:
| Community College of RI | = |
University of Rhode
Island
|
| HIST 2270 World Religions | RLS 1XL (Religious Studies, 100 level, Letters general education category) |
- Elective Credit: A course transferring in but does not have a direct URI equivalency and does not fulfill a general education elective.
Example:
| Community College of RI | = |
University of Rhode
Island
|
| SPAN 1000 Basic Spoken Spanish | XXX 1XX (Free elective credit,Course subject does not match URI courses but still warrants college credit) |
