It's never too early to start preparing for transfer.
RCC has tools and resources to help you stay on track.
For many students who want to stay close to home or save money, community college is a great way to get ready for a four-year degree. Preparing for transfer is about getting ready to succeed at a four-year college or university. It's about making the right choices for you, based on your major and the college or university you hope to attend.
An Academic and Career Coach can help you navigate this process, even during times we are working and learning remotely. Reach out to a Health Professions & Public Safety Advisor to make an appointment.
Direct Transfer
The direct transfer option is for students who have selected a transfer school and academic major and who want to take specific classes for that major and/or transfer to a university. Direct transfer students will be required to meet the transfer school’s freshman or transfer admission requirements. These will include a minimum transfer GPA, completion of specific courses (e.g., WR 121Z , MTH 111Z , etc.), and completion of a certain number of transferable credits. Students who do not meet the transfer student criteria must satisfy the new freshman requirements. Students are advised to visit the transfer school’s website for specific admission requirements. Students who choose the direct transfer option will have RCC courses evaluated and accepted on a course-by-course basis by the transfer institution.
Reverse Transfer
Students who earn an associate degree on the way to earning a bachelor’s degree create a faster and more efficient track to baccalaureate achievement. Earning the degree provides an additional credential that makes them more competitive when applying for jobs and scholarships.
Students who transfer to a university or another community college before earning a degree, but after earning a minimum of 24 college-level credits at Rogue Community College, may transfer credits back to RCC. If classes earned elsewhere complete the requirements for an RCC degree, the college will grant it. To find out if you qualify, apply for graduation at Enrollment Services’ Forms for Students page.

Application
University of Phoenix
Students transferring to the University of Phoenix with a completed Associate of Arts from RCC will be considered as satisfying their lower division elective and general education requirements While the chosen program pre- requisites and general education requirements will still need to be met, this otherwise makes the student "Required Course of Study" ready at University of Phoenix. Certain specialized programs are excluded. For additional information, contact Laura Beal, University of Phoenix Community Development Manager, at [email protected].
Western Governors University

An articulation agreement is created when two (or more) institutions agree that the content and difficulty level of courses offered by each institution is equivalent and that students taking the articulated course at one institution will not need to repeat it when they transfer to the other institution. This allows students to complete lower division courses closer to home and at a lower cost without the risk of courses not being accepted in transfer.
