Time Limits for Credit Acceptance

Given the rapidly changing nature of information and resulting modification of course competencies, RCC reserves the right to limit credits accepted in a program of study based on the year in which the credits were earned. Courses that are part of an earned degree are subject to review.

  1. Developmental course work is valid for five years. After five years, students will have the option to re-take the placement test and enroll in the indicated course or enroll in the last developmental course they successfully completed.
  2. Students applying for Health Sciences programs must adhere to the specific admission requirements including time limits and course grades as outlined in the Health Sciences admission information packets.
  3. All credit awarded is at the discretion of the College.
  4. Advisors may guide students to repeat the first course in a sequence if there has been a significant time lapse.
