CCV to VTSU Pathways

��˿첥 University guarantees general admission to Community College of Vermont graduates. The CCV to VTSU Pathways are available for many popular programs. Pathways provide you with a clear academic navigation plan to complete your CCV degree and then progress seamlessly into your VTSU degree. Pathways outline the appropriate CCV program, how credits from that program are utilized to meet program requirements in a ��˿첥 University bachelor’s degree program. Pathways students will enjoy many benefits of the program:

Maximize your time at CCV. With our transfer pathways plans, you’ll know exactly what you need to take at CCV and how it fits into your bachelor’s degree.
Save time and money. CCV offers Vermont’s lowest tuition costs and with transfer plans in place, there’s no time spent wondering about how your credits will be used to satisfy requirements in the bachelor’s degree. It’s all determined ahead of time. This saves you time and money!
No uncertainty. We’ve taken the guesswork out of transfer. Just follow your transfer plan and there’s no need to worry if you are taking the right classes.
Support from a team. By indicating that you are following a CCV to VTSU Pathway, you’ll have access to customized support from two schools working together for you.
No hoops to jump through. When it’s time to transfer, you won’t need to do a long application, pay fees, or even have transcripts sent. We’ll take care of that for you.
Test the waters. As a CCV student, you can try out classes at VTSU and still pay the CCV tuition rate (fall and spring only).
Two degrees instead of one. You’ll finish with both your associate and bachelor’s degree which looks great on a resume.

Dual Enrollment

High school juniors and seniors are eligible to use public tuition funds for free courses at ��˿첥 Colleges institutions.

The ��˿첥 offers several ways for high school students to earn college credit while still in high school. Successful high school students have earned anywhere from 3 to 18 college credits—reducing the time it takes to get a college degree, reducing the costs associated with college, and challenging themselves through college-level curriculum.

Juniors and seniors attending a public high school, technical center, or an independent school using public tuition dollars in Vermont are eligible for two Dual Enrollment vouchers, each good for one free college course at Community College of Vermont and ��˿첥 University, as well as other participating Vermont colleges. The free credits earned at college also count as credit towards graduation from high school.

Before applying for a dual enrollment voucher, please review the eligibility guidelines. All questions related to eligibility, processes, and participation in the program should be emailed to aoe.dualenrollment@vermont.gov.

The Dual Enrollment Program is made possible through a statewide partnership agreement supported by the State of Vermont’s Next Generation Initiative.

Tech Center College Credits

Students enrolled at career and technical centers can count their coursework towards college credit.

Fast Forward
Vermont high school students enrolled in selected partner programs at their local career/ technical center are eligible for Fast Forward Tickets.

Introduction to College Studies

With support from VSAC and GEAR-UP, this course is offered tuition free to all Vermont high school students and is the ideal course for high school sophomores to prepare for college courses in their junior and senior years.

Developmental Skills Voucher

Thanks to support from VSAC’s GEAR-UP program, CCV is able to offer vouchers to high school students and June 2017 high school graduates for developmental skills courses through the summer 2017 semester. This provides an important bridge to dual enrollment and college for students who need basic skills preparation before taking college-level coursework. Funding is separate from Act 77, so students do not need to request a dual enrollment voucher using the web application. Interested high school students should contact their local CCV center to meet with an advisor, select a course, and request a developmental skills voucher.
