  3. To be awarded college credit, you must complete the online registration and submit your payment, either by credit card or check payable to RIT, of $240/course to RIT. The registration and payment deadline for classes completed during the 2024-2025 school year is November 2, 2025. Online registrations are not processed until payment is received. College credit will be awarded in the RIT semester of which registration and payment are received.

Important Dates

July 21, 2025

For students graduating in 2025, or seniors applying early decision to colleges in the fall of 2025 it is recommended that your registration and payment are received by July 21, 2025, to ensure you can receive a transcript at the end of August 2025.

November 2, 2025

For classes completed in the 2024-2025 school year, the registration form and payment must be received by November 2, 2025. After this date, the registration portal will close. Registration will re-open in January, 2026.

Assigned Grades

The transcripted grade received from RIT is based solely on the End of Course (EoC) exam score you receive on the PLTW End of Course exam.  

The grade you receive in the high school course may differ from the college credit grade. If you attend RIT, the college credit grade you receive is counted towards your undergraduate RIT cumulative GPA. If you attend another university, the course credits often are transferred without the letter grade or GPA.

 It is important for you to ask your teacher what your End of Course exam score is so that you can make an informed decision as your college credit grade could affect your undergraduate GPA.
