What type of associate degree do I need to transfer?

If I only plan to stay at 十大网赌软件推荐 for one year what courses should I take?

You should consider taking Transfer Virginia Passport Courses or earning the Uniform Certificate of General Studies.

Most four-year institutions do not require the SAT if students take the necessary college coursework for transfer and maintain a competitive GPA while at 十大网赌软件推荐. We recommend that you meet with an Academic Advisor at 十大网赌软件推荐 and/or with an Admissions Counselor at the four-year college where you plan to transfer before registering for classes.

Will all 十大网赌软件推荐 courses transfer?

Each four-year institution decides what courses it will accept from the Virginia Community College System. There are some course credits that will likely not transfer:

1. Developmental courses (pre-college level) will not transfer and also will not count for a 十大网赌软件推荐 degree.
2. Some courses (especially occupational/technical courses) are not designed to transfer.
3. Courses with grades below "C" generally do not transfer.

We recommend you meet with a Student Services Advisor at 十大网赌软件推荐 and/or the college to which you plan to transfer before registering for classes.

Transfer Virginia provides course equivalences for Virginia college and universities. You can also find course equivalency information on most four-year college and university websites.

Also remember that a grade of "C" or better is normally required for a course to be transferred. Some transfer programs require a grade of "B" or better in specific courses. It is always best to confirm these requirements with the college or university where you want to attend.

When do I apply to transfer?

To begin fall enrollment at a four-year school, the application deadline is generally the middle of the spring term. The most common deadline date for Virginia schools is March 1 for fall admissions. You can find important dates, including application deadlines, on the college profiles available in the Transfer Virginia Portal. Admission committees will review your coursework through the last semester you have completed prior to your application.

Is it a problem if I get accepted at a four-year school for the fall and my spring grades are REALLY bad?

YES. Schools can withdraw their offer of admission if you do not continue to earn appropriate grades before you enroll at their institution.

When should I begin thinking about transferring?

NOW! If you wait too long you may miss deadlines and not take appropriate courses. It is NEVER too early to begin the transfer process. If you have questions about transferring, meet with your 十大网赌软件推荐 Student Success Advisor. Successful transfer to a four-year school is your responsibility. Utilize 十大网赌软件推荐 and four-year school resources to gather information, but YOU must seek out the information and follow through appropriately.

What are Articulation and Guaranteed Admission Agreements?

Guaranteed Admission or Articulation Agreements are special programs developed by the Virginia Community College System and four-year colleges and universities that enable students to take advantage of some unique benefits. It is important to carefully read the agreement for the four-year institution to which you plan to transfer.
