For a list of courses that have been pre-approved for transfer from other Alberta colleges and universities into RMC programs, check the below link:

Transfer credit may be awarded towards program or elective courses to a maximum of 6 credits for higher level subjects only presenting grades of 5 or higher.

Advanced Placement

Transfer credit may be awarded towards program or elective courses to a maximum of 6 credits for courses presenting grades of 4 or higher.

Transfer of Field Education or Practicum Credits

Field Education labs are closely evaluated by the Field Education Department to determine if they are transferable.

Practicum transfers may be permitted subject to agreement by Program Coordinators conditional upon:

  • Review of paperwork indicating appropriate outcomes and evaluations
  • Appropriate level of student’s program
  • Recentness
  • Qualifications of supervisor
  • Nature of the evaluation
  • Reflective practice, not simply logged hours

Mature Students

Mature students who are 21 years of age or older, at the beginning of a semester, who have been out of high school for two years and without high school graduation, may be admitted on academic probation. The total number of students in this category cannot exceed 5% of the student body.

Visiting Students

Students who are enrolled in a program at another recognized post-secondary institution and who present a letter of permission may be eligible for the courses specified in the letter upon approval of the VP Academic and availability of space in the course.

Unclassified Students

Students who apply to register in one or more courses in a semester and present the necessary prerequisites on an official transcript may be admitted as unclassified students if there is availability of space in the course.

Returning Students

Students who have been absent from RMC for more than one academic year and less than two years, must complete a Returning Student Application Form. Students absent more than two years must re-apply for admission and meet current catalogue program requirements.
