Reverse Transfer Initiative (RTI) Students who have earned at least 23 credit hours with GMC and have transferred to a four-year institution without an Associate Degree may “reverse transfer” earned credits at their four-year institution to complete an Associate Degree with GMC. This process makes it possible for students to earn their Associate Degree while continuing to work on their Bachelor’s Degree.
