Transfer Appeals
An appeal process for transfer course equivalency is open to students who have attended an accredited community college or four-year institution and have been admitted to a Rider degree program. Course appeals will only be considered prior to the completion of the last 30 credits in the bachelor's degree.
For each course being appealed the student should submit the following information/documentation:
- Program the student is pursuing
- Course(s) the student wishes to appeal (include course number, title, and the name of the transfer institution)
- Supporting documentation (course syllabus, course work) to justify the appeal
- Desired outcome of the appeal (indicate one or more of the following):
- Substitution for a required course in the major
- Substitution for a required course in the minor
- Substitution for a core course
- Transfer as a general or free elective
- If appropriate, the major/minor/core course to be replaced by the transfer course
All appeals must be submitted electronically through the student's Rider email address to their academic dean's office.
