1. Will my course(s) transfer to Randolph and apply to general education and appropriate degree requirements if grade of P+ is awarded in spring 2020 from my Virginia community college?
Yes. If a grade of P+ is awarded from institutions within the Virginia Community College System (VCCS) during the spring of 2020, then the credit will transfer into Randolph. P+ grades will not impact major selection and will not impact the current GAA in place between Randolph and the VCCS. Transferred credit will serve as prerequisite coursework. P+ grades will not impact consideration for the Virginia Transfer Grant.
