Orientation

Instructors provide general orientation for the college on the first day of class. During orientation, students learn about policies, procedures and services available on campus. The Student Handbook and other instructional materials are utilized to describe the operation of the colleges and outline students’ responsibilities.

Transfer Policy

An incoming post-secondary student who has previously attended another accredited postsecondary institution may provide an official transcript for credit/clock hour evaluation. Acceptance of credit/clock hours completed from another institution will be awarded (or transferred) after review and/or demonstration to the new programinstructor(s). 

Within the institution, transfers can be initiated from full-time day programs to corresponding part-time evening programs and vice-versa and from one program to another program both day and evening. These transfers have to be approved by instructors, School Counselors and sometimes administration. Transfers are limited as much as possible to the beginning of each nine-week grading period.

Articulation with High Schools and State Colleges

Articulation agreements with high schools and state colleges provide credit for competencies completed in many training programs. Instructors, School Counselors and administration, can provide additional information.

Military Service

Any currently enrolled student at Ridge Technical College who is called to or enlists in active military service shall not incur academic or financial penalties by virtue of performing military service on behalf of our country.
