University Acceptance or Denial of Enrollment for Bachelor-Completer Programs

The University will notify each applicant in writing of acceptance or rejection based on fulfillment of the University Acceptance or Denial requirements and the following requirements:

  • Completion of the Online Orientation.
  • Applicants must have a conferred associate’s or bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution that is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).

Alternatively, select programs may accept students who have successfully completed 60 quarter or 40 semester college-level credits with a grade of C- or higher in each course from an accredited institution that is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). Any student who has not successfully completed college-level math and college-level English Composition coursework with a grade of “C” or higher must achieve a score on the University Placement Assessment acceptable for admission into the University at a level that does not require developmental coursework. See Transfer of Credit Policies for program-specific acceptance requirements.

  • In order to determine eligibility and acceptance, official and unofficial transcripts as well as grade reports from accredited institutions that are recognized by the U.S. Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) will be evaluated per the transfer policy of Rasmussen University. Upon completion of the assessment, the applicant will receive a transfer credit evaluation that includes a summary of the courses that may be accepted for transfer. Official transfer of credit (TR) will be awarded for those courses upon receipt of an official transcript and enrollment in a program.
  • An applicant may be accepted into a bachelor-completer program, which includes the Information Technology Project Management Certificate program, upon receipt of official or unofficial transcripts, which prove prior credits. Official or unofficial transcripts must be received no later than the sixth business day of the first term of enrollment in order to begin the program. A student who starts at the beginning of a quarter will be withdrawn from the University if official transcripts are not received by Friday of the thirteenth week of enrollment. A student who starts Term 2 of a quarter will be withdrawn from the University if official transcripts are not received before the beginning of Term 2 of the subsequent quarter. In the event that acceptance was based on credits earned at multiple institutions, the official transcript from each institution must be received by the deadline.

Note that program-specific acceptance requirements may apply.
