Process for Verifying Credits, Progress toward degrees<br />
<strong>Roger</strong> <strong>Williams</strong> University has established an automated Degree Audit process, where the University<br />
Registrar’s Office maintains <strong>of</strong>ficial records <strong>of</strong> course credits, fulfillment <strong>of</strong> degree and general education<br />
requirements, transfer credits, etc. Additionally, the School provides a Degree Plan tracking system<br />
stapled into each student’s advising folder, which provides more information regarding any transfer credit<br />
information from other institutions.<br />
General—Transfer Credit and Advanced Placement Evaluation<br />
Transfer credit and advanced placement are evaluated and documented by the School deans, who work<br />
with the deans <strong>of</strong> other <strong>Roger</strong> <strong>Williams</strong> University schools, and with the University Registrar to accurately<br />
assess coursework from other institutions, the Advanced Placement (AP) program <strong>of</strong> the College<br />
Entrance Examination Board, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. Transfer credit may be<br />
granted for equivalent coursework from other institutions, the AP exam, the IB programs, but no grade is<br />
assigned and credit is not included in calculating the student’s GPA. Transfer credit will only be awarded<br />
for coursework completed with a grade <strong>of</strong> C or better.<br />
