How does the Green River Community College transfer guarantee work?

I'm interested in the transfer guarantee at Green River Community College. Does anyone have experience with it, and can you explain the universities involved and how to qualify for the guarantee?

Green River College, like many community colleges, has established relationships with four-year institutions that allow for a smoother transfer process for students who complete certain requirements. These programs are often called Transfer Guarantee or Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) programs.

The universities involved can vary, but generally include local, regional, and sometimes even international partner universities. The exact list of universities can typically be found on the community college's website in their Transfers section.

In terms of how to qualify, each individual college or university may have different requirements, but some common criteria often include:

1. Completion of an Associate Degree or a certain number of credits at the community college (often 60 or more). This might also include specific classes or major preparation courses.

2. Certain minimum GPA requirements. This typically ranges from a 2.5 to 3.0 GPA or higher, depending on the competitiveness of the 4-year university.

3. A completed application to the 4-year college or university by a certain deadline, often in the fall of your last year at the community college.

It's also important to communicate with academic advisors both at Green River and at the university you wish to transfer to. They will be able to provide more specific advice and clarify any questions you may have about the transfer guarantee process.

Finally, please note that while transfer guarantees can provide a more assured pathway to a four-year institution, they don't guarantee admission to every major. Some extremely popular or competitive majors may still have additional admission requirements. Always verify the specifics with the institutions you're interested in.
