about dual enrollment

<p>Does Rice award credit for classes taken at a community college during high school?
im prospective Rice applicant btw</p>

[MSmom_amp_dad]

<p>Short answer… it depends.
They will give credit IF the course is not used for high school graduation (they require a form signed by the HS counselor stating this; and a letter from the college registrar stating it was regular college course offered to “normal” college students).</p>

[Antarius]

<p>^^ yes. that is correct.</p>

<p>they will give the equivalent transfer credit as taking classes over the summer. The course also MUST be accepted by Rice. like they only allow classes at he base level to be taken elsewhere.</p>

<p>check with rice before enrolling</p>

[Modulation]

<p>And I also read it can’t be on your high school transcript… which SUCKS.</p>

[Antarius]

<p>yeah because it cannot be for HS requirements. It needs to be done independently hence not tied to the school</p>

[cdz512]

<p>Four requirements that have to be met:</p>

<p>

<br>
-equivalent to courses that are or could be offered at Rice
-completed at an accredited academic institution
-completed with a grade of C- or better
-taken for a grade (not taken pass/fail)

</p>

<p>And there are two decisions Rice can select when you want to transfer the credits: </p>

<p>

The Office of the Registrar in conjunction with academic departments determine whether courses are appropriate for transfer to Rice as *specific Rice equivalent courses *or as TRAN credit. Rice equivalent transfer credit satisfies the same university, major, and distribution requirements as Rice enrollment. Rice equivalent credit usually requires departmental approval.TRAN credit can be awarded as lower-level (TRAN 100), upper-level (TRAN 300), or graduate (TRAN 500). *TRAN credit counts toward general elective hours required for graduation *and for upper-level credit requirements if the TRAN credit is designated as upper-level by the Office of the Registrar. *Transfer course grades do not appear on a student’s record *and have no effect on a student’s Rice grade point average.

<p>ok thx, i just wanted to no cuz i’ll be applying as freshman this fall</p>

<p>There may not be a clear policy at Rice regarding CC credits taken prior to matriculation. Some departments (e.g Chemistry) may NOT give you equivalent credit from a CC even if the class has nothing to do with your HS requirements and even if it was taken at the college with other college students, etc. You do not want TRAN credits as getting enough general credits is seldom an issue.</p>

<p>I see OP was asking about “Dual Enrollment” credits and as mentioned above those are never any good at Rice.</p>

<p>elrod, to clarify:
i meant concurrent enrollment, thats wut we call it at our hi school but i no other ones call it dual enrollment
the def of dual enrollment is: Students enrolled in secondary school (called high school in the United States) may be dual enrolled at a local institution of higher learning, such as a community college or university. These students may take classes at either institution for credit toward their high school diploma, as well as for college credit.</p>

<p>in my case, im taking classes at community college, but i just put dual enrollment in title b/c its broader term</p>
