Can someone please explain the VCCS transfer deal to me?

I hesitated to answer this because I am not a VCCS student. With that being said, I’d avoid translating the “40 views” into 40 people-- some of those could have been guests who don’t have accounts and have a similar question to yours, bots, etc.

These answers are straight from WM’s website/other websites, so all I did was take a few minutes to look at the websites myself. If you look around, I am sure there is a slew of information to help you-- I didn’t even look around that much and I found some potential answers for you.

If you want specific/possibly more accurate answers that better suit your situation, contact folks from both VCCS and W&M yourself. After all, they’ll have more knowledge on the matter than random users (like me) on an internet college forum. :slight_smile:

  1. An example of an answer from one of VA’s community colleges:
    “NOVA has an open door admission policy. Any person 18 years of age or older who holds a high school diploma or equivalent can take advantage of our academic opportunities.”
    https://www.nvcc.edu/admissions/index.html
    Look at this: https://www.nvcc.edu/tuition/in-state.html

  2. To my knowledge, no-- meet the requirements for GAA, and they will admit you.

  3. “Test scores listed on the high school transcript will be accepted. If you have been out of high school for more than five years, SAT or ACT scores are not required.”

  4. http://www.wm.edu/admission/undergraduateadmission/how-to-apply/transfers/vccs_students/guaranteed_admission/vccsagreement/index.php

If you meet the requirements listed above in their particular GAA agreement (3.6 cumulative GPA, Letter of Intent, current VCCS student, 45 minimum credits, met the course requirements, etc.), I would expect that they have to hold up their side of the agreement (by admitting you).

Hope that helps! :slight_smile:
