Richland Community College Transfer Credits

Students studying

You've already worked hard - and for that, we give you credit!

The transfer process can be a challenge to navigate, especially for students transitioning from a two-year program to a four-year program. Millikin University has created resources to offer guidance for a successful transition to Millikin University. 

Students who want to enter Millikin University from Richland Community College should use these resources to choose courses that will automatically transfer, pending successful completion with a C- or higher, or otherwise noted grade. A maximum of 66 semester hours can be accepted.

    Course Equivalencies

    If you took, or plan to take coursework at Richland Community College, use these equivalency guides to determine how those courses transfer to Millikin University.  The course equivalency guide lists the courses offered at Richland Community College and how each of those corresponds to courses offered at Millikin University.  Evaluation for transfer courses not on these lists will be completed at the time of receipt of official transcripts.  These guides should be used in conjunction with academic advising and are not a replacement for meeting with your academic advisor to discuss personalized course planning.
