CREDENTIALS
If you have satisfactorily completed at least one full year of study at a college accredited by one of the six regional accrediting agencies in the US (or recognized in a similar fashion by an appropriate authority if the college is in another country) by June of the year you intend to enroll at RISD, you may apply as an upperclass transfer student. A full year comprises a minimum of 27 earned credits, including a minimum of 12 credits in the liberal arts.
The quantity and type of education previously completed will determine your entrance level at RISD. If you have completed one year, you must apply as a first-semester sophomore. If you are admitted, you will be required to participate in the Transfer Summer Program, a six-week session that runs from mid-June through the end of July.
Modeled on our Foundation Studies curriculum, the Transfer Program is an integral part of the degree program, offering courses in drawing, two-dimensional design, and three-dimensional design. On the recommendation of Foundation Studies faculty, attendance at the summer program may be waived by the Admissions Committee. Waivers are granted only if you have completed the equivalent of RISD’s Foundation Studies Program; all applicants are automatically reviewed for this waiver.
Transfer of Credit
Course credits in liberal arts, mathematics, science, and foreign languages earned at other colleges or universities accredited by one of the six regional accrediting agencies in the US (or recognized in a similar fashion by an appropriate authority if the college is in another country) are usually transferable to RISD and will be applied toward the 42 liberal arts credits required for graduation. A grade of “C” or better is required in order to transfer credits from other institutions. The Division of Liberal Arts determines whether each course is eligible for transfer credit. Once you have enrolled as a RISD degree student, you may only transfer 12 credits from other institutions.
If you are transferring to RISD with a BA degree, you will be exempt from all liberal arts requirements, except the required two-semester sequence in Art + Architectural History I and II. You may seek a waiver of this requirement if you have taken an equivalent course elsewhere. If you are transferring to RISD with a BA degree from a foreign institution, you may need to seek a waiver of the English requirements for graduation. Contact the Liberal Arts Office for more information regarding waivers.
Credits earned in studio courses are generally not transferable. If you enter RISD having completed a minimum of three semesters at an accredited institution, you may apply to receive studio credit from your major department. Typically, these credits will be reviewed for transfer after you have completed your first semester at RISD. One or two semesters of advanced standing may be granted after your initial performance at RISD and your previous studio experience have been evaluated. In rare instances, advanced standing may be granted at the time of admission.질문이있는데요ㅠㅠ
