This transfer pathway will help you plan courses at the Community College of Vermont (CCV) that will meet course specific requirements at VTSU.   

  • CCV and VTSU are both a part of the Vermont State College System (VSCS). Students have one common VSCS transcript. As such, courses taken at CCV are not considered transfer credit.   

  • Students who have completed an associate degree at 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.  

  Join this transfer pathway by completing the CCV to VTSU Pathways Form.
