TRANSFER GUIDE
Updating in Progress
This Transfer Guide has been
developed to assist you in making a smooth transfer from
available in college catalogues or from any written source.
Students should be aware that this information is subject to change. RBC advisors will receive updates of changes as they become available; therefore, you should verify any information in The Transfer Guide with your advisor before making scheduling decisions.
Maximum Transfer Credits: Most colleges limit the number of credits you may transfer. Generally, colleges will accept a maximum of one half the total hours required for a four year degree. You should check the catalogue of each college on their standards of transfer credit limits.
Grade Requirements: A grade of "C" or better will be accepted by most colleges; "D" grades generally do not transfer.
**All 299 courses must be individually evaluated. For this reason, it is advised that students keep course syllabi. These will help the college or university properly evaluate the class.
Transfer Problems: Problems related to transfer should be brought to the attention of your academic advisor or the Office of the Provost (804) 862-6242.
Transfer information is available for the following colleges and
universities:

Financial Aid
General Information
The
majority of assistance is awarded on the basis of financial need, as determined
by a federally approved need analysis formula. Financial need is the difference
between the cost of education (educational expenses such as tuition, fees,
room, board, books, supplies, and other expenses) and the amount that a student
and his/her family is expected to contribute toward that cost. Often a student’s
award package may include grants, scholarships, part-time employment, and
loans. Grants are awarded on the basis of financial need and do not
require repayment. Scholarships are awarded competitively on such criteria
as academic ability, achievement, and area of study, and generally do not
require repayment. Financial need is also required for many but not all
scholarships. Work-Study awards are awarded on the basis of financial
need and offer eligible students an opportunity to earn money to help pay
educational expenses as well as to gain work experience. Work-Study jobs are
available in offices and departments on campus and students usually can work in
an area related to their course of study or interests.
