Admissions Office: Transfer Admissions Process

Complete Application Snapshot

Your application will be complete once we have received all of the following materials:

• Your completed application form (online or paper version)
• $30 application fee (for paper applications)
• Final transcript of your secondary school record
• Transcripts from all colleges where you have taken courses (if applicable)

To apply to Randolph-Macon College, you'll need to follow a few simple steps:

1. The Application

   When applying to R-MC, you'll need to complete and submit an application form. You may submit an online application, paper application, or Common Application. The $30 application fee is waived for online applications.

   If you are submitting a paper application, mail your completed application form along with the non-refundable $30 application fee to:

   Office of Admissions
   P.O. Box 5005
   Ashland, VA 23005-5505

2. Transcript and Recommendation

   Have your secondary school counselor mail an official copy of your transcript along with a letter of recommendation to the R-MC Admissions Office (same address as above). We only require one letter of recommendation and it may come from a professor, advisor, or principal.

3. SATs and ACTs

   If you have taken the SAT or ACT, please have an official copy of your scores sent to us from The College Board or ACT, or have your high school send an official, certified copy of your scores with your transcript.  Transfer applicants who have earned (or plan to have earned, before enrolling at R-MC) their associate's degree are not required to submit SAT or ACT scores.

Transferring Credits to R-MC

College courses (from accredited 2-year or 4-year colleges), Advanced Placement, or International Baccalaureate courses may qualify for credit at R-MC. All accepted transfer applicants will have their college transcripts evaluated by our Registrar's Office and will receive a course transfer evaluation, detailing which courses will transfer and how much credit will be given at R-MC.  In order for course credit to be accepted for a Randolph-Macon degree, the student must:

• All accepted transfer applicants will have their college transcripts evaluated by our Registrar's Office and will receive a course transfer evaluation, detailing which courses will transfer and how much credit will be given at R-MC.

Scholarships and Financial Aid
