MECC’s Transfer Services assists students who wish to pursue their education beyond the Associates degree. Services include one on one advising sessions, transfer fairs, course equivalency planning, campus visits, as well as assistance with college applications.
MECC Transfer Programs include:
MECC has guaranteed admission agreements with many four-year colleges and universities in Virginia and beyond. These agreements provide benefits for students who graduate with an Associates of Arts & Sciences degree in one of the transfer programs listed above. Students may be guaranteed entrance to specific institutions providing they meet the criteria as established in each institution’s agreement for: minimum grade criteria (GPA); prerequisite course requirements in specific programs; and proper application for admission procedures.
MECC also has program-specific articulation agreements with several four-year colleges and universities within the Commonwealth of Virginia as well as the region. These agreements apply to students who earn an associate’s degree and are designed to facilitate transfer of course work taken at MECC into a specific bachelor’s degree program.
Information on agreements with many four-year colleges and universities in Virginia can be found: www.transfervirginia.org.
Students who entered a Virginia community college in 2007 or in subsequent years may be eligible to receive up to $2,000 annually upon transferring to a four-year institution. To qualify, students must complete a transfer associate’s degree with a 3.0 grade point average and meet financial eligibility requirements. The grant will be applied to tuition expenses at a four-year Virginia college or university, either public or private. The grant provides $1,000 for all eligible students, with an extra $1,000 for students who pursue undergraduate work in engineering, math, technology, teaching or science.
