Community College Students In Virginia Guaranteed Admission Into Four Year University
Posted on December 22nd, 2006
Students who attend a Virginia community college can breathe a sigh of relief:
The Virginia Community College System and the University of Mary Washington announced Wednesday an agreement to guarantee admission for any eligible Virginia community college student who wants to transfer to a four-year college.
Among the requirements, students must have earned a transfer-oriented Associate Degree and meet certain essential requirements, according to college officials.
"I am so excited about the agreement," said Germanna Community College's President Frank Turnage, Wednesday afternoon. "It's a major accomplishment and step in the right direction. It's going to be a wonderful opportunity for community college students statewide looking to continue their education."
Is guaranteed admission a good idea? What do you think?
