Industry Credential Review
Students may be awarded credit for attainment of current industry-recognized credentials based upon faculty approval.
- Students must present a valid certificate or license (front and back) that shows the certification and the expiration date to the Registrar’s Office by dropping it off at one of our Student Affairs offices in Albert Lea, Austin or Owatonna or email it to registration@riverland.edu
- The transfer specialist will transcript your transfer credit based on approved courses
- You will be notified via email from the Registrar's Office once the transcription is complete with instructions on how to view the transfer credit you received.
