Transfer Information

Transfer to Other Colleges

Graduates and other former students at the College have been accepted throughout the nation for transfer admission to a full range of bachelor's institutions, and many have continued their education even further in graduate and professional programs.

Any student who plans to transfer is encouraged to meet with the College's transfer advisor in the Advising and Counseling office, as well as with their advisor, to schedule courses at the College which meet the Freshman and Sophomore requirements of the bachelor's program at the transfer institution.

The transfer advisor is also available to assist students with all facets of transfer, beginning with the exploration of transfer institutions, through the application process. The transfer advisor is located in the Grossman Commons Building.

 

MassTransfer*

Students planning to transfer to one of the state-supported universities or colleges in Massachusetts are eligible for MassTransfer. MassTransfer provides community college graduates who complete designated associate degrees with the benefits of the full transfer and applicability of credit, guaranteed admission (2.5 GPA or higher), and a tuition discount (3.0 GPA or higher). MassTransfer also provides students in the Massachusetts public higher education system the intermediate goal of completing a portable general education transfer block which will satisfy the general education/distribution/core requirements across institutions.

Students completing an associate degree program under MassTransfer will graduate with a minimum of 60 credits hours and complete the following 34-credit general education transfer block, exclusive of developmental coursework:
 

General Education Transfer Block
English Composition / Writing	6 credit hours
Behavioral and Social Science	9 credit hours
Humanities and Fine Arts	9 credit hours

2.5 GPA	Guaranteeded admission, plus all of the above benefits
3.0 GPA	A 33% tuition waiver, plus all of the above benefits

 

Stipulations: If students change their major or if the linked baccalaureate program requires a higher grade point average or specific courses which are required of native students, MassTransfer students must meet these requirements. If, because of space or fiscal limitations, the receiving institution does not admit all qualified applicants to a given major or program, the receiving institution will use the same criteria for MassTransfer applicants as it does for its native students.
 

Students completing the general education transfer block (without earning a degree) at any Massachusetts higher education institution with a 2.0 or higher grade point average will earn the 34 credit hours outlined above, exclusive of developmental coursework.

Minimum Final GPA	Benefits
2.0 GPA	Automatic satisfaction of the general education/distribution/core requirements at the receiving institution, with the receiving institution able to add no more than six additional credits/two courses, if admitted.
