Transfer Credit
Prior College Credits
We accept credits from accredited colleges or universities for courses in which you earned a grade of C or better—no matter how long ago you earned them. We also accept credit via exam, such as Advanced Placement (AP) and College Level Examination Program(CLEP)
At least half (50%) of the credits toward your major must be earned at Providence College.
Community College Agreements
We have transfer agreements with several community colleges. These agreements provide a seamless way to transfer and some even guarantee admission and tuition discounts for those who meet the requirements.
Guaranteed Admission & Tuition Agreements
For CCRI or Bristol CC students who are pursuing an associate’s and have less than 45 credits.
CCRI Student & Alumni Transfer Agreement
BCC Student & Alumni Transfer Agreement
We also offer a transfer agreement for Quinsigamond Community College students or alumni who have completed an associate’s degree in fire science or the necessary courses to enter our B.S. in Fire Administration program.
Credits for Military, Work or Life Experience
We accept several Prior Learning Assessment programs, so you can get credit for the knowledge you’ve gained outside the classroom. You can apply up to 30 prior learning credits toward a PC bachelor’s degree; these credits count toward your overall allowance of 75 transfer credits.
