Nontraditional Credit

Some students may take advantage of nontraditional opportunities to receive credit for prior training that equates to college-level learning. Testing services (30 hours maximum) and professional schools and training (30 hours maximum) may be counted toward college credit, but not towards the residency requirement (see the “Admissions” section of this catalog). A combined maximum of 30 hours toward the associate degree or 60 hours toward the bachelor’s degree may be available through nontraditional avenues. Up to 60 hours of military credit may be used toward a bachelor’s degree. For any degree, at least 50% of a student’s major and minor core requirements must be earned at Rochester College.
