Richard Bland College welcomes students who are transferring from another postsecondary institution as degree-seeking students. Transfer students are invited to begin their matriculation during the fall, spring, or summer semesters. A transfer student must:

. Be a graduate of an accredited high school or have earned a GED
. Possess a high school grade point average of 2.0 or better on a 4.0 scale
. Complete an application for admission
. Pay a $25 processing fee
. Provide an official high school transcript
. Provide a copy of all college or university transcripts

If a transfer student has not completed one full semester of college work, the student must request a letter of good standing be sent from the previous institution. Special circumstances may require additional documentation. If a student leaves an institution on academic probation, the student may enroll in a maximum of twelve semester credit hours and will be subject to the same guidelines as students placed on academic probation at Richard Bland College. The list of guidelines accompanies the letter of admission. An applicant under suspension from another college or university will not be eligible for admission until the student has been separated from the college for one semester. Summer sessions do not count as a full semester.

After the transfer student is admitted to the College and has begun matriculation, the evaluation process of college transcripts begins. The Registrar reviews the transcripts, recommending transfer credits for courses for which a grade of "C" or better was earned and for which a matching Richard Bland College course is currently offered. An official copy is sent to the student and the original is placed in the student's permanent folder. A maximum of 33 transfer credit hours will be accepted toward an Associate Degree at Richard Bland College. Credit will not be granted for courses taken while the student is suspended from any college or university.
