This guide is for students entering this 2+3 for catalog year 2023-2024. If you are a new 2+3 student for 2024-2025, there are some MCC curriculum changes; be sure to review this with an MCC advisor.

A minimum GPA of 3.25 is required for acceptance to RIT for those accepted into this 2+3. Students not formally accepted into the 2+3 (as indicated by MCC major) may need a higher GPA. Students repeating courses more than once 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.
Students need to apply to RIT as they are completing their studies at MCC; the final admission decision is 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.

AP, IB, CLEP, transfer credit, College Now or other Dual Enrollment courses: Credits showing as accepted by MCC may not be transferable. See
