Many of the career and technical education programs are designed to serve students with no previous study or experience in the program area.

In order that students who have acquired knowledge in career and technical education program fields through high schools or whose work experience may benefit from that knowledge, the College recognizes such education through credit evaluation programs.

Students who wish to transfer credit earned at another accredited college or university must request a transcript from the college attended. The transcript should be sent directly from the college or university to the Admissions and Records Office at Richland. The student requesting a transfer of credit must pay any transcript fees.

Approved credit hours will be applied toward the total number of hours needed for the degree or certificate, provided the average grade for all such work is "C" or better.

Transfer credit will not be included in computing the student's grade point average at Richland. Approved credit hours will be recorded on the student's academic record at the request of the student

If any student pursuing an occupational-oriented program has a background that makes any listed course(s) inappropriate, two options are recommended:

1. The student may earn credit for the course(s) through proficiency examination(s) or advanced placement in an approved sequence; if such proficiency credit is awarded, it will shorten the total time required to complete the program.
2. If a student needs to complete a sequence of courses so that proficiency credit for one or more courses will not reduce the total time required to complete the pro- gram, he or she is encouraged to earn proficiency credit and enroll in other courses that would increase his or her competencies beyond the minimum requirements for the program.

Several programs require some study in courses that satisfy certain Group Requirements. These are subdivided into Business and/or General Education:
