Please note that some courses required in a Transfer Pathway may not be required for the MCC program. This could have financial aid implications. Students should meet with their advisor or with a transfer representative to discuss an academic plan and recommended sequence of courses.

Transfer Guide

Students interested in this Competitive Transfer Pathway must complete an MCC program change request and meet specific entrance requirements to be formally accepted.

For those accepted (as indicated by their MCC major): Continuous, full-time enrollment (12 or more credit hours each semester) is required. Enrollment, along with closely following the guide, significantly increases the likelihood of acceptance by the 4-year institution. Student contact information will be shared with the 4-year institution. Students need to complete a transfer application, typically done prior to the start of their last semester at MCC.

If not accepted, students can still follow this guide and apply to RIT. All students are encouraged to meet with Career Services staff at MCC and Transfer Admissions at RIT.

Students transferring to RIT will need co-ops and additional coursework that will extend their time at RIT. This program typically takes students 5-years total to complete. Refer to RIT Course Equivalencies. AP, IB, CLEP, transfer, College Now and other Dual Enrollment courses: Credits showing as accepted by MCC may not be transferable. See Transfer and Test Credit. Contact RIT with questions. GPA of 2.8 or higher is advised for acceptance to RIT. GPA of 2.0 is required for MCC graduation. Mechanical Technology A.A.S. (MT01) is the degree that will be awarded by MCC. Documentation source: MCC Career Services. Updated: 6/12/2026 While every effort is made to ensure accurate information, students are strongly advised to verify course transferability with the four-year institution as they will make the final determination of transfer credit.
