Instilling Virtues For Eternity
Credit Transfer Policy
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for students who wish to transfer credits from another institution to meet the requirements of their program of study at ​Royalty International University of Theological Education.
Royalty International University recognizes transfer credits from other accredited universities and colleges, subject to the following conditions: a. The course must be equivalent in content, standard, and duration to a course offered at this university. b. The student must have earned a grade of C or better in the course. c. The course must be applicable to the student's program of study. d. The course must not have been taken more than ten years ago. e. The course must not have been used to satisfy the requirements of a previously earned degree. f. The maximum number of credits that can be transferred is 50 percent of the total credits required for the degree program. Students who wish to transfer credits to this university must submit official transcripts and course descriptions from the previous institution. Transfer credits are evaluated and approved by the department or program that offers courses in the same subject area. ​ A student who is transferring from an institution using a different grading system will have their grades converted to this university's grading system. The conversion is based on the grading system in use at the previous institution. Royalty International University will provide written notification to the student of the acceptance or denial of transfer credits. ​ Students who transfer credits from another institutions are responsible for meeting all degree requirements of this university.​ This policy does not guarantee that all transfer credits will be accepted. The final decision on the acceptance of transfer credits rests with the department or program that offers courses in the same subject area. This policy is subject to change at any time, and without notice. The Office of the Registrar is responsible for administering this policy and ensuring that it is applied consistently and fairly to all students. This policy will be reviewed annually to ensure that it remains current and relevant to the needs of the university and its students.​
Royalty International University's Credit Transfer Policy allows students to transfer credits earned from other accredited institutions toward their degree programs at RIU. To transfer credits, students must provide official transcripts from their previous institutions for review by the RIU Transfer Credit Evaluation Team. Transfer credit eligibility is determined based on several factors, including course content, grades earned, and the accreditation status of the previous institution. RIU accepts transfer credits for up to 50% of the total number of credits required for the degree program. However, individual programs may have specific limitations on the number of transfer credits allowed. Students must also have earned a minimum grade of C in any course they wish to transfer, and all transfer credits must be relevant to the degree program being pursued. At RIU, we understand the value of prior education, and aim to make the transfer process as seamless as possible for our students. Our Credit Transfer Policy ensures that students can make the most of their previous credits and maximize their time and resources towards earning their degree.
