Is there a seamless transfer to Delaware County Community College?

I'm exploring a transfer to Delaware County Community College, and I've heard about a seamless transfer process. Does anyone have more details on how this works and what I should be aware of?

Yes, Delaware County Community College (DCCC) does have a seamless transfer process called its "Dual Admissions Agreements." Essentially, these agreements were developed with four-year colleges and universities to smoothly transition students from DCCC to these institutions.

When you enter DCCC, under these agreements, you would agree to earn an appropriate associate degree within five years, maintain a specific GPA, and meet any other requirements of the agreement. Then, after earning your associate degree, you are guaranteed admission into a parallel bachelor's degree program with junior standing at the partner college or university.

One key aspect is that you must apply for the dual admission agreement before you earn no more than 30 college-level credits at DCCC. Furthermore, you need to be aware that not all programs might be available under the Dual Admissions Agreements, so you should verify that your program of interest is included.

Another thing to keep in mind is that each four-year institution may have additional requirements or conditions. Therefore, it's crucial to fully understand the requirements of the specific institution you're hoping to transfer to.

Remember to work closely with a DCCC advisor who can guide you in course selection and help ensure that you meet all requirements for this seamless transfer. It's always a good idea to keep communication lines open with both DCCC and the intended transfer institution to stay abreast of any changes or prerequisites.

The ultimate goal is to help you save time, reduce student debt, and ensure a smooth and stress-free transition to the four-year institution of your choice.
