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 Transfer Pathway. Students not formally accepted into the Competitive Transfer Pathway (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 Competitive Transfer Pathway 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 Transfer Pathway (as indicated by the MCC major).

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