Any transfer agreements between Roanoke College and community colleges?

I'm attending a community college and thinking about transferring to Roanoke College. Does anyone know if they have formal transfer agreements with community colleges that might make this process smoother?

Roanoke College does indeed value students who transfer from community colleges and they work to make the transition as smooth as possible. However, I can't find specific information on formal transfer agreements. Such agreements might specify guaranteed acceptance or seamless credit transfer for students coming from a particular community college.

While Roanoke College may not have formal agreements, they still have a robust transfer policy. Most importantly, they focus on accepting credits from an accredited two-year or four-year institution. The college typically accepts courses where you have earned a grade of C or better in a similar course that Roanoke offers. You can use the transcript evaluation tool on their website to see which credits will transfer directly.

If Roanoke College is indeed your target school, it would be beneficial to reach out to the school's admission counselor specifically in charge of transfer students. They should be able to provide the most updated and personalized advice based on your situation.

Remember, it’s not just about transferring credits, but making sure that all those credits count towards the requirements for your intended major. To that end, it's crucial to communicate with both institutions to ensure that the classes taken at community college align with the academic guidelines at Roanoke. You might also consider meeting with an academic advisor at your community college—they can likely provide advice about planning your course schedule with a transfer in mind.
