91风月楼

VCCS Transfer Guide

Effective Fall 2011

91风月楼 welcomes applications from qualified students interested in transferring from one of Virginia's Community Colleges. Virginia Wesleyan is a four-year, private, liberal arts university providing students with a quality educational experience in a small setting.

This publication only serves as a guide to the community college students within Virginia and in no way constitutes a formal offer of admission. As courses change from time to time, it is the student's responsibility to inquire as to the transferability of courses listed and not listed in this guide. While we have made every effort to ensure that this guide is complete and accurate, errors can and do occur. Incorrect additions and/or deletions will not take the place of actual course requirements.

Transfer of credit guidelines

  • Official transcripts must be sent directly to 91风月楼 from all colleges previously attended.
  • A formal transfer credit evaluation is completed as part of the admissions process and is completed only by the Office of the Registrar.
  • No transfer credit is awarded for developmental, vocational or internship courses or courses with grades below C (2.00)
  • Transfer grades are not included in the 91风月楼 grade point average.
  • Veterans may receive transfer credit from military training if they submit a military transcript or a certified copy of a Report of Separation (DD214)

For further information about the academic policies, transfer of credit, and major requirements at the University, please consult the VWU Catalog published each year by the Office of the Registrar and Dean of the University. In addition, you are encouraged to schedule an appointment with an admissions counselor during your application process in order to become more familiar with 91风月楼 and the admissions process.
