Will other colleges/universities accept RIT transcripted credit for PLTW courses?
Each college establishes its own policies. Depending on program requirements, a college may accept some or all of the RIT transcripted college credit. PLTW encourages the following: • Consider RIT and PLTW National Affiliates or colleges which offer incentives/ scholarships specifically to students in PLTW courses, such as, Clarkson University; • Ask the admissions department of other colleges/universities if they accept RIT transcripted college credit. The key points to remember are: • Many PLTW courses parallel the same courses at RIT and some other institutions. • The tests that PLTW students take to earn college credit were designed by faculty from National Affiliate Training Centers and PLTW and meet our quality standards. • An increasing number of colleges and universities are becoming National Affiliates of PLTW, which indicates their commitment to the quality standards of our program.
