Transfer Students

If you are a newly admitted transfer student, please call our office at 757-683-4044 to make an appointment to learn more about our program, be advised, and to have your advisor block removed.

Students earning the AS, AA, or AA&S (or university parallel) degree from a Virginia Community College automatically satisfy the lower division general education requirements, with the exception of Departmental requirements marked with an asterisk (*), which can be met only by exact course equivalencies. General Education courses marked with an asterisk (*) require a grade of C or better to transfer. The remaining lower division courses are automatically satisfied by the associate degree (including foreign language) regardless of the grade earned.

Additionally, courses in which a grade of "C-" or below was earned will not transfer. Therefore Community College degree holders who meet the General Education requirements may require additional credits to meet the 120 credit hour graduation minimum. Please refer to the University Catalog or to Monarch Transfermation for additional information.

LOWER-LEVEL DEPARTMENTAL REQUIREMENTS

To view the lower-level departmental requirements for our programs, please visit our Curriculum Sheet page, and view our curriculum sheets.  Be sure to note the lower-level general education courses that have an asterisk (*) next to them.

*A minimum cumulative 2.8 GPA is required for admission, continuance, and graduation

NOTE: If you are transferring to Old Dominion University with credit for your lower-level Math and English courses and/or with 30 credits or more, it is TIME FOR YOU TO TAKE PRAXIS I. It is critical that you pass PRAXIS I soon, so that you will be eligible to enroll in your Practicum (ESSE 479). Stop by the IDS office in BAL 3026, or the Teacher Education Services in ED 152 for PRAXIS I information.

Students transferring from a Virginia Community College will find the Transfer Guide very helpful.  It is available online through the Office of Admissions website.
