Regis College

What is the accreditation of Regis College?

Regis College is institutionally accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education, or NECHE. Institutional accreditation evaluates the college as a whole; it is distinct from accreditation of an individual nursing, social work, education, or other professional program.

Institutional accreditation is important for access to federal student aid and can matter when students seek to transfer credits or pursue further study. It does not guarantee that another college will accept a particular course. Applicants to licensure-oriented programs should separately confirm the program's current approval or specialized accreditation and whether it meets the rules of the state where they intend to practice.

What are the admission requirements at Regis College?

Regis College uses a selective, rather than open-admission, process for first-year applicants. Applicants generally need a completed application, a secondary-school record showing high school completion or an equivalent credential, academic information including GPA, and recommendations. College-preparatory coursework is part of its reported admissions criteria.

SAT and ACT scores are not listed as required or recommended in the reported admissions criteria. International applicants whose circumstances call for proof of English proficiency should check the current test and exemption rules; TOEFL is identified as a required English-proficiency measure in admissions reporting. Requirements may differ for transfer, graduate, and clinical-program applicants.

In the reported first-year admissions cycle, Regis admitted 2,395 of 3,432 applicants, an acceptance rate of about 70%. Of those admitted, 180 enrolled. These figures describe a past entering class, not an individual applicant's likelihood of admission. Applicants should confirm the deadline and required materials for their intended start term and program.

What are the application fees and waivers at Regis College?

Applicants should check the fee shown for their specific Regis College application before submitting it. Undergraduate, transfer, graduate, and program-specific application routes can have different procedures, and an application fee should not be confused with an enrollment deposit.

Anyone who needs a fee waiver should ask the admissions office about eligibility and the request process before paying or submitting an application that requires payment. A waiver may require documentation or a particular application route; applicants should not assume that a fee can be refunded afterward.

What types of ROTC programs are available at Regis College?

Army ROTC participation is reported as available at Regis College. A student interested in commissioning should confirm how Regis students enroll, where classes and physical training meet, and which institution administers the unit before building an academic schedule around it.

ROTC participation and an ROTC scholarship are separate matters. Scholarship eligibility, fitness and medical standards, contracting, and any later service obligation depend on the applicable Army ROTC rules and the student's status. Students seeking Air Force or Navy ROTC should verify whether a workable cross-enrollment arrangement exists rather than assume that availability of Army ROTC extends to other branches.

What are the requirements for transfer students at Regis College?

Regis College accepts transfer applications for fall and spring entry and generally considers credits earned at other accredited institutions. Transfer admission and transfer-credit acceptance are separate decisions: being admitted does not mean every completed course will count toward a chosen major.

Transfer applicants should be ready to submit official transcripts from each college attended and to provide earlier academic records if their circumstances or program require them. AP credit and certain other prior-learning credits may also be considered; reported policies include acceptance of credit for life experience and general CLEP examinations. How a credit applies depends on course equivalency and degree requirements.

Before committing, a transfer student should request an official evaluation showing which credits satisfy general education, major, elective, and residency requirements. This is particularly important for sequenced clinical programs, where accepted elective credit may not shorten the time needed to finish required courses or placements.

What types of study abroad programs are available at Regis College?

Students considering study abroad at Regis College should begin with the approval process for their specific major. An overseas course is most useful academically when the college confirms in advance how it will count toward graduation.

Available destinations, program lengths, and partner arrangements can change from year to year. Students in majors with tightly scheduled labs, internships, or clinical placements should ask an academic adviser when travel could fit. They should also obtain a written explanation of tuition charges, outside-program fees, and whether their grants or scholarships can be used for the proposed program.
