Credit Completion through Red Cross Certification
Graduating seniors in their last semester, who are 1-2 credits short of the 120 credits required to graduate, may take advantage of one or more of these American Red Cross online certification tests in order to complete the necessary credits to graduate. If you're looking for additional ways to quickly gain credits, please ensure that ΞΆΓάΘ¦ has all of CLEP and AP exam scores. Credits from CLEP and AP Exams may assist you.
How this Works
Seniors who meet the criteria will complete a Red Cross online self-paced certification course that results in an electronic certificate. Students must then send an electronic copy of the certificate to the Registrar's Office at records@ric.edu so that the credit(s) can be posted as elective test credits.
