Transferring to a Non-Partner School
We hope you will choose to complete your degree at CVTC, but recognize that you may want to pursue academic options beyond CVTC. If you decide to transfer to another school, your transfer options are not limited to our official partner colleges and universities. Our partner universities and guided pathways offer a streamlined process for CVTC students, but you can always choose to apply to other schools and follow their transfer processes. The CVTC advising team is a great resource to discuss your options and next steps as you look to transfer to any school.

Course Transfer Agreements

Should you choose to continue your education after you leave CVTC, we have agreements in place with several institutions to ensure an easy transfer. Just because we don't have a partnership agreement with a college or university, doesn't mean your credits won't transfer. Contact the transfer coordinator at your transfer school to help make a smooth transition from CVTC.

AssociateS of Arts and Science Transfer Agreements

General education courses in the Associate of Arts (AA) and Associate of Science (AS) University Transfer programs are guaranteed to transfer to our partnering institutions. General education classes are those that have course codes in the 200 range, for example: 801-2xx-703. Other classes may transfer but check with the transfer coordinator at the college or university to which you plan to transfer to verify.

Our partnership agreements work to ensure that general education classes you take at CVTC will transfer to our partners. Be sure to connect with your advisor when considering transferring to another school. CVTC has partnership agreements with:

Student StoriesMeet Cristina

With a home schooled background and some uncertainty over what she wanted to study in college, Cristina Whiting didn’t feel quite ready for a big university. But she found CVTC was the right choice for her to begin. The CVTC University Transfer program allows her to gain credits that will transfer to universities, no matter what field she decides to pursue.

"I like that CVTC is smaller. It’s better for me financially and it’s easy to transfer credits to the schools I’m looking at."

And Cristina is impressed with the faculty, which she says has gone the extra mile to help and encourage her when she’s needed it.

"I really love my instructors. They make a big difference. I’m thinking that this is amazing. This is just what I needed."
