Community College of Vermont

¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø College works closely to support transfer students from the Community College of Vermont (CCV) by providing enhanced pre-application advising and opportunities for cross-enrollment. In January 2021, ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø College and CCV entered into an articulation agreement designed to further support current CCV students interested in transferring to ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø College.

For CCV students interested in completing their Bachelor’s degree at a four year liberal arts college, ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø College provides pre-application advising, specialized financial aid opportunities, and a streamlined credit transfer process. CCV students are encouraged to take advantage of the existing cross-enrollment agreement between the two colleges which allows current CCV students to take courses at ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø College while paying CCV tuition. These courses can help students decide on a transfer pathway and can form the basis for mentorship relationships with faculty.

The agreement outlines the following policies:

  1. ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø College will provide academic advising to CCV students interested in transferring, to include discussion of eligible pathways, suitable transfer credits, and possible coursework at ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø. CCV students are encouraged to contact the Admissions Office at ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø College early in their sophomore year to begin discussion of the transfer process.

  2. ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø College will admit CCV associate degree graduates with a grade point average of 3.0 or higher, subject to review and approval by the ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø Admissions Committee. Students with a grade point average below 3.0 will be considered on a case-by-case basis. A student's previous GPA from CCV is not included in any GPA calculations at ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø.

  3. CCV graduates meeting admission requirements and entering ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø College will be awarded a $15,000 transfer award for each year, renewable for up to 6 terms at ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø. CCV transfer applicants will be considered for all other need-based and merit-based financial aid opportunities for which they are eligible.

  4. ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø College will accept a maximum of 64 approved academic transfer credits from CCV per the ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø College Transfer Credit Policy.

  5. Transfer students must spend the equivalent of two years in residence at ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø College, and complete all necessary requirements to be eligible to graduate with a ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø degree. On a case-by-case basis, students may be permitted to spend one term abroad in a program of study connected to their course of study at ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø.
