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.  
VTSU is a partner in the Vermont Transfer Guarantee, https://ccv.edu/academics/transfer-from-ccv/vermont-transfer-guarantee/ 
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 higher are required for credit toward program requirements. Please note: All natural and physical science courses need to be completed within the last ten years.

Join this transfer pathway by completing the CCV to VTSU Pathways Form. Admission to this program is limited and is not guaranteed.

Admission to VTSU’s nursing programs is highly competitive. Successful completion of pre-nursing courses strengthens your application and saves time and money over the course of your nursing education.
