Transfer Pathway Guides

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 in this Competitive Transfer Pathway, along with closely following the guide, significantly increases the likelihood of acceptance by the 4-year institution. Please note that student contact information will be shared with the 4-year institution. Students will 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 advising guide and apply to the transfer university. All students are encouraged to meet with transfer staff at MCC and at the transfer institution.

Note the following:

A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required for admission consideration by RIT for those accepted into the Competitive Transfer Pathway. Students not formally accepted into the Competitive Transfer Pathway 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).
