To read more about the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia’s (SCHEV) State Policy on College Transfer.

Virtually all Virginia public four-year colleges and universities are in compliance with the State Policy on Transfer. This policy states that “students who have earned an associate degree based upon a baccalaureate-oriented sequence of courses should be considered to have met the lower-division general-education requirements of senior institutions. These students will be considered to have attained junior standing (typically defined by credits completed at the senior institution). It may, however, take transfer students longer than two years to complete the baccalaureate because of prerequisites in the major or other requirements or circumstances.” At Blue Ridge Community College, this policy applies to graduates of the Associate of Arts and Sciences (A.A.& S.) degree in the College/University Transfer Program and the Associate in Science (A.S.) degree (including the Associate in Science, Engineering and Computer Science specializations). Blue Ridge Community College also has more specific guaranteed admission and articulation agreements with a number of Virginia’s senior institutions.
