A minimum GPA of 3.25 at the time of transfer application is required for admission consideration by RIT for those accepted into this Competitive 2+3. Students not formally accepted into the 2+3 (as indicated by MCC major) may need a higher GPA. Students repeating courses will have their grade point average recalculated by RIT to include these courses in their overall GPA. Numerous repeat of courses and/or low GPA may result in removal of student from the 2+3 agreement by MCC or RIT. The final admissions decision will be made by RIT.

Matriculated, continuous, full-time enrollment (12 or more credit hours each semester) is required for students formally accepted into this Competitive 2+3 (as indicated by the MCC major).

A grade of C or better is needed for credit to be awarded by RIT.

RIT's degrees requires several "Perspective" courses (Artistic, Social, Ethical, Global, etc.). When able, choose courses that fulfill both RIT Perspective and MCC degree requirements. Use the MCC/RIT Perspectives Courses worksheet to cross-reference courses OR take suggested courses. You only need one course for each Perspective. It is helpful to reference the RIT curriculum.

AP, IB, CLEP, transfer credit, College Now or other Dual Enrollment courses: Credits showing as accepted by MCC may not be transferable. See Transfer and Test Credit. Contact RIT with questions.
