Unlocking the transfer guide

If you want to transfer to Virginia Tech, it is best to visit a course guide. This will help you determine which classes you should take at the college in which you are currently enrolled.

Transferring from the Virginia Community College System?
If you are transferring from the Virginia Community College System (VCCS), you can check out 2009-2010 Transfer Guide. This guide contains the recommended courses for each Virginia Tech undergraduate degree program.

What do do:
  1. Visit the transfer guide, click on "Entering VCCS 2009-2010 Virginia Tech Transferable Courses"
  2. Then, click on the major that interests you.
  3. Once you select the major that interests you, you can see the VCCS course number and the corresponding VT course number for each major.

Transferring from a 4-year institution or non-Virginia 2-year college?
If you have graduated from high school and are attempting, or have attempted more than 12 credit hours at another college or university (including a community college that is not in the Commonwealth of Virginia), please take the following steps to ensure that the classes you are taking will count towards your intended major at Virginia Tech.
  1. Visit the transfer equivalency database,
  2. Select the state in which your college is located and then the college you are attending from the drop down menus.
  3. Then, select "Find Courses"
  4. Now you can select the courses are enrolled in at your current college and see what the transfer equivalents are at Virginia Tech.

Articulation Agreements:
Articulation agreements have been created with Richard Bland College and the Virginia Community College System (VCCS). In short, this means that if you take certain courses and maintain a high GPA at Richard Bland College or at a Virginia Community College, you have guaranteed admission at Virginia Tech.
