Virginia Wesleyan University is committed to treating transfer students fairly. We believe in recognizing your hard work and making the path to your four-year degree as easy as possible.
The Fair Transfer Guarantee helps Virginia community college graduates save credits, save time, and save money by assuring that those with an Associate of Arts, Associate of Fine Arts, Associate of Science, Associate of Arts & Sciences, or Associate of Applied Science- Human Services (Tidewater Community College), will enter Virginia Wesleyan with junior-class status. All lower-level general education requirements—including foreign language—will be deemed complete, allowing students to focus on courses for their major and upper-level elective credits necessary for their bachelor’s degree.
Marlin Fast Pass
Be a Marlin even before you transfer! To make students’ transition to ¾Å¾ÅÊÓƵ even more seamless, ¾Å¾ÅÊÓƵ has created the Marlin Fast Pass concurrent enrollment program. Virginia community college students who declare their intent to transfer to ¾Å¾ÅÊÓƵ will be assigned a ¾Å¾ÅÊÓƵ academic advisor and issued a ¾Å¾ÅÊÓƵ student ID. They will have full access to the ¾Å¾ÅÊÓƵ campus—including use of the library and fitness center, and free admission to athletic and cultural events—before they even become students here. And, students who have attained a 3.0 GPA at the completion of their first year at a two-year institution will be eligible to concurrently enroll in two 300-level ¾Å¾ÅÊÓƵ courses during their sophomore year.
