Coming from another college or university? Welcome!
Transfer students are encouraged to seek admission to Rust College any time during the year. Transfer students are not required to submit ACT or SAT scores.
Students transferring from a regionally accredited junior or community college with an associate of arts or an associate of science degree requirements with grades of 2.0 or better will be accepted as juniors. Students admitted under this provision must meet the College General Education requirements and entry requirements of the proposed degree program.
Transfer Credits
Rust College accepts transfer credits from all regionally accredited junior, community, senior colleges and universities. Rust College will accept no more than 70 semester hours of transfer credit or the hours in a conferred AA degree program towards the Bachelor’s degree in any major. Students may transfer these courses upon acceptance to Rust College. No course hours over this amount will be accepted toward a Rust degree. Students may be given permission to take courses in a regular summer school or an accredited distance learning program in the summer to the extent of this policy. However, no credits below ‘‘C’’ in any course and no credits for any course which are not in keeping with the College’s catalog will be accepted as transfer credits. Courses with quarter hour credits will be equated with semester hour credits as follows:
The Registrar has the responsibility of accepting transfer credits to the institution. The acceptance of the courses is based on the transfer policy. The Registrar, through the use of the Evaluation of Previously Earned Credit Form, (EPECF) lists the courses accepted. The Registrar will evaluate the general education courses only. All major area courses will be evaluated for comparability by the respective division. The divisional area will record the comparable courses on the Divisional Previously Earned Credit Form (DPECF) and submit the form to the Registrar office, along with providing a copy to the student.
Equivalence in:
| Quarter Hours | Semester Hours |
| 2 | 1 |
| 3 | 2 |
| 4 or 5 | 3 |
| 6 | 4 |
