ADDENDUM to the Rasmussen College Catalog 2018-2019 June 27, 2019 Education Accreditation (CHEA) will be evaluated per the transfer policy of Rasmussen College. 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 Flex Choice®CBE six- month term 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 A student will be withdrawn from the College if official transcripts are not received by the Friday of the thirteenth week of enrollment. 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. A student who is withdrawn may be considered for reentry at the start of the next Flex Choice® CBE six-month term only upon submission of official transcripts. A paper transcript is “official” only as long as it remains in its sealed envelope from the issuing institution. An electronic (secure, certified PDF) transcript is “official” in its electronic form as long as it is sent directly from the issuing institution to Rasmussen College and has not been altered. A printed copy of a PDF transcript is not official. Note that program specific entrance requirements may apply in addition to the standard Flex Choice® CBE six- month term entrance requirements. p. 110, Background Checks (3/29/19) Delete and replace the fourth paragraph (regarding IL, KS, and WI campus background checks) with the following: Background Checks Add program title to list of required background checks.
