RRU agrees to facilitate the block transfer of students from the Natural Sciences, Associate in Science Degree (AS) program at Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC) with appropriate prerequisite qualifications into the third year of the Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science (BScES) at RRU.

By this agreement, applicants from SRJC who meet the requirements outlined below will be eligible for admission to RRU with full block transfer, provided all other entrance criteria are met (per the program admission requirements on the RRU website) and space remains available in the applicable program.

For admission into the BScES degree program, students must successfully complete:

• the Natural Sciences AS with a minimum ‘B’ (3.00/4.33) GPA* over a minimum of 60 post-secondary credits (or equivalent); including
• two courses (6 credits) in chemistry with a laboratory component in at least one course;
• two courses (6 credits) in biology (BIO 2.1 strongly recommended);
• two courses (6 credits) in math or physics with one course in linear algebra or calculus; and
• two courses (6 credits) in writing or communications.

*Cumulative GPA refers to the overall grade point average across multiple quarters. Only courses taken toward a student’s Associate Degree (A.A. or A.A.-T./A.S.-T.) will be used in this calculation. Any courses taken outside of the A.A. or A.A.-T./A.S.-T would be assessed on a case by case basis (normally to the benefit of the student).
