What If I Have An Associate Degree Or Credit For Prior Learning?
Expand or Shrink Accordion
Transfer Guidance Element What You Need to Know
Associate Transfer Degree Completion Students who complete an approved VCCS transfer-oriented associate degree (AA, AS, AA&S, or a SCHEV-approved General Studies transfer degree) are considered to have satisfied Radford’s Core/REAL lower-division general education requirements. Students must still complete all other University, college, departmental, major-specific, prerequisite, and Radford residency requirements.
Completion of Associate Degree Concurrent with High School Students earning a transferable associate degree while in high school through dual enrollment should apply through the freshman application process and are not guaranteed admission under Radford’s VCCS Guaranteed Admission Agreement. If admitted, they receive the benefits associated with the transferable associate degree once an official college transcript showing degree completion is submitted; the degree satisfies REAL/Core general education requirements. Students must still complete all other University, college, departmental, major-specific, prerequisite, and Radford residency requirements.
Credit for Prior Learning Radford awards credit for AP, CLEP, and IB when official scores meet Radford criteria; AP/CLEP scores and IB courses are evaluated like transfer credit. Dual enrollment credit requires an official college transcript. Students may also seek prior-learning credit for professional work or life experience, military training, CLEP, departmental challenge exams, and national certification exams. Students should submit official scores, transcripts, or Joint Services Transcripts, and confirm with the Registrar/transfer team or academic advisor how awarded credit applies to their degree and major requirements.
Did You Know That...
  • Completing your Associate transfer degree post-high school satisfies all lower division general education requirements and increases the chance of completing your bachelor's degree?
  • Exceeding 3 years or 90 credits at your community college means you may have exhausted your financial aid at that college and have limited your future financial aid at: Radford University

First Year Student Catalog Year Catalog year is determined by the academic catalog year the student enters Radford University.
