Transfer Agreements
Honors Transfer Agreements
RCCD Honors Program maintains transfer agreements with a variety of universities and colleges. Participation in these agreements is contingent upon the student's successful completion of the Norco College Honors Program; completing five (5) honors courses (15 units) with a grade of B or better and maintaining an overall GPA of 3.2.
In addition, students must also fulfill any other course requirements for the major and the school to which you are applying. Keep in mind that to be a competitive transfer applicant, a GPA higher than 3.2 is highly desirable.
Please remember that even if you do not complete the Honors Program and take advantage of the negotiated transfer agreements, participation in even a few honors-level classes can make your transfer application stand out.
RCCD maintains transfer agreements through:
