  • Students who have completed an associate degree at the CCV will have completed all associate-level general education requirements at VTSU. 
  • VTSU accepts all general education credits and associate’s level VSCS graduation standards from CCV.
  • Transfer courses from regionally accredited institutions will be accepted if grades are C- or better, however, grades of C or better in all OHS, CHE, and BIO courses are required for credit towards program requirements and to continue in the program.
