For more information, please go to the College Transfer page. RCC students intending to earn a four-year degree from an Oregon public or private university may complete all the lower-division general education requirements at RCC and begin work on the requirements for a specific major. Students can prepare for transfer majors at RCC where the advantages include smaller classes, lower tuition costs, and teaching excellence. RCC also provides academic support through free tutoring services. Students attending RCC have several options for transfer to an Oregon public or private university.
Planning to Transfer
Making a transfer plan early can save time and money. Because the general education and academic major requirements differ at each Oregon university, it is important to identify which courses can be taken at RCC before transferring. Some academic majors may require an early start on mathematics. For other majors, students may need to transfer after one year at RCC in order to take essential lower-division major coursework offered only at the transfer institution.
Transfer Advising
Academic and faculty advisors and counselors are available to assist students in developing educational plans that will meet the requirements of their chosen majors and transfer schools. Additionally, students who may be undecided or undeclared in a major have access to RCC counselors and courses designed to assist them in choosing appropriate majors and careers.
Rogue Community College has developed transfer agreements (articulations), and course equivalences with Oregon Tech, Pacific Northwest College of Arts, Portland State University, Southern Oregon University, University of Phoenix, and Western Governor’s University. The college/university connection offers students the option of earning a two-year degree and the opportunity to enroll in university courses at the same time, easing the transitions to a four-year university.
Direct Transfer
The direct transfer option is for students who have selected a transfer school and academic major and who want to take specific classes for that major and/or transfer to a university. Direct transfer students will be required to meet the transfer school’s freshman or transfer admission requirements. These will include a minimum transfer GPA, completion of specific courses (e.g., WR 121Z , MTH 111Z , etc.), and completion of a certain number of transferable credits. Students who do not meet the transfer student criteria must satisfy the new freshman requirements. Students are advised to visit the transfer school’s website for specific admission requirements. Students who choose the direct transfer option will have RCC courses evaluated and accepted on a course-by-course basis by the transfer institution.
Reverse Transfer
Students who earn an associate degree on the way to earning a bachelor’s degree create a faster and more efficient track to baccalaureate achievement. Earning the degree provides an additional credential that makes them more competitive when applying for jobs and scholarships.
Students who transfer to a university or another community college before earning a degree, but after earning a minimum of 24 college-level credits at Rogue Community College, may transfer credits back to RCC. If classes earned elsewhere complete the requirements for an RCC degree, the college will grant it. To find out if you qualify, apply for graduation at Enrollment Services’ Forms for Students page.
University Residency Requirements
Students should visit individual university websites to plan their transfer education and to determine residency requirements in place for specific institutions.
