Students should complete an “Intent to Enroll” form within their first 30 credits at their community college. Student’s who follow the Transfer Agreement Advising guide for Cybersecurity can rest assured that all of their credits will transfer over and they will be able to safely transfer to Rider University as a Junior. Note: students will still need to meet Rider standards for academic admissibility in order to be admitted to Rider.

There is no fee waiver code, since Rider does not charge an application fee to transfer students.

Applying to Rider is simple. Complete our transfer application, submit official transcripts from all colleges previously/currently attended, and wait for a decision. We use CommonApp or our in-house application. Apply now here: https://www.rider.edu/admissions/transfer/how-to-apply.
