COMMUNITY COLLEGE & TRANSFER AFFAIRS

Students A Welcome to Transfer Students

Radford University extends a warm Highlander welcome to students anticipating a transfer to RU after beginning their careers at other institutions of higher education.

Some of you are transferring to RU after taking courses or earning an Associate’s degree from one of the Commonwealth’s outstanding community colleges. Others are joining the RU community of learners after matriculating at another four-year college or university. No matter which institution you previously attended, we believe that you will find that Radford University both challenges you to excel in all that you do and offers a full array of support programs to help you achieve your goals.

We sincerely urge you to explore this site to learn more about the advantages of transferring to RU. Click on the menu to find out about the transfer admissions process and about “Transfer Quest,” the special orientation programming we offer for transfer students. Read some testimonials from current RU students who have found that continuing their education at Radford University has been a wonderful experience for them.

If you began your career at a Virginia Community College, visit our listing of Guaranteed Admissions and Articulation Agreements to see if one fits your circumstances. You can also examine the community college course equivalencies to determine how easily your community college coursework will transfer to RU.

Finally, don’t settle for just a “virtual” visit. Make sure that you actually come to our beautiful campus, meet our faculty and students, and discover why “Investing in Lifetimes” is both our mission and our passion.
