Students Transferring to Other Colleges

Virginia’s Community Colleges provide a gateway to the Commonwealth’s four-year colleges and universities. Through system-wide agreements, students who graduate from one of Virginia’s 23 community colleges with an approved associate’s degree and a minimum grade point average may be eligible for guaranteed admission to more than 20 of Virginia’s colleges and universities.

Students planning to transfer to a four-year college or university are responsible for determining the transfer admission policies and requirements of the intended institution. The four-year institution’s policies and requirements should guide a student in choosing a course of study and appropriate electives at CVCC.

Central Virginia Community College has two transferrable associate degree programs: the Associate of Arts and Sciences (AA&S) and the Associate of Science (AS). These transfer programs are designed so that students can parallel CVCC coursework with four-year college requirements. Due to the changing academic requirements of four-year colleges and universities, students are encouraged to have direct contact with the institution to which they plan to transfer.

There are many transfer events that include representatives from four-year institutions held on campus each semester which provide an opportunity for students to speak directly with the college and university and obtain additional information. For up-to-date information on transfer, including information on the top schools to which CVCC students transfer, as well as guaranteed admission please visit the Transfer Information page and for transfer related events please visit the Event Calendar both found at http://www.centralvirginia.edu.
