Many colleges and universities are willing to consider for transfer credit Rising Hope courses which a student has successfully completed and which meet National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS) standards. Every school makes admissions and academic decisions on a case-by-case basis. In addition to SUNY Empire State College and Nyack College, Granite State College, Thomas Edison State University, Excelsior College and Charter Oak College have been particularly open to our former students.

Rising Hope courses which have received NCCRS credit recommendations are more likely to be accepted in some programs than in others. A college may grant college credit for a course completed or waive a required prerequisite or required course. When looking at a college, it is important to contact the Admissions Office or Registrar’s Office to learn what the policies are of that particular institution and how they might apply to the courses which you have taken with Rising Hope. Although a description of each course which has been evaluated by NCCRS is listed on the NCCRS website, NCCRS suggests that students keep a copy of the syllabus for each course they have taken should more detail be needed in the admission process.

When it comes time to apply, the Rising Hope academic record can be obtained by a request through completing this form. Alternatively, it can be obtained by a request in writing sent to:

Rising Hope, Inc.
260 King’s Mall Ct. #124
Kingston, NY 12401.

The record will be sent directly to the college or university listed in the request.

There is no charge for this.
