Transfer Options

Transfer agreements (also known as articulation agreements) help ensure that students won’t have to retake successfully completed courses or earn additional credits in order to transfer to a four-year school as a junior in a specific program. FVCC has partnered with several institutions to create guaranteed transfer agreements in a variety of programs.

These agreements specify which lower-division courses students must complete at FVCC before transferring to the specified four-year institution.
