Transcript
Grades get transcripted and sent to the college(s) of your choice. When you have earned the requisite amount of credits necessary for the particular college of your choice, along with the core requirements of English, Math, Science, and a humanities distribution, RIJS will send in your transcripts to the college of your choice. At this stage, you will need to take the required courses through the college of your choice in order to track to degree completion. Each college retains the exclusive right to accept your coursework for credit transfer consideration.
