Dual Admission/Transfer Program

What is a Guaranteed Transfer Program?
Burlington County College's Guaranteed Admission Program is an inexpensive way for students to complete their bachelors' degree by providing a seamless transfer of courses and credits from BCC to many four-year colleges and universities. Through this program, students are guaranteed admission to selected schools after graduating from BCC provided that all the schools' criteria is met and a certain grade point average is maintained.

First, students must formally sign up for the program with the BCC Transfer Coordinator before they have completed 30 credits at BCC. Next, with the help of BCC staff, students identify an intended major and follow a structured academic plan to complete general education courses and lower division courses for that major. The academic plan will lead the student to the completion of an associates' degree and enable the student to transfer all (or nearly all) their credits to the four-year institution. Students are guaranteed admission to the four-year institution at junior-level status if they earn a pre-determined grade point average.

What are the criteria for successful transfer through the Guaranteed Transfer Program?

Students must complete the “recommended transfer program” for their intended major at the 4-year institution.
Students must take all courses at BCC.
Students must complete the associates' degree at BCC.
Students must earn the grade point average (GPA) required by the partner institution, and any other admissions requirements of that institution.
Students must submit all required admissions application material to the BCC Transfer Coordinator in advance of the admissions application deadline of the partner institution.

How to Apply for the Guaranteed Transfer Program?
Guaranteed Admission Programs are for students who have chosen a specific major at one of BCC's partner institutions. The specific "Intent to Transfer" forms list the designated majors for each participating school. You must complete a Guaranteed Admission application and an Intent to Transfer form for the school of your choice and return it to:

Dr. Robert Ariosto, Transfer Coordinator
Parker Center, Room 311
Extension 7337 or 3889 at (609) 894-9311 or (856) 222-9311
rariosto@bcc.edu

These forms must be completed during the time period stated for the specific college/university to which you are applying. Forms are available in the Student Services Center in Pemberton or the Student Services Counter in Laurel Hall, Mt. Laurel.

Your application will be evaluated as to your status for admission to one of these programs. If eligible, you'll be scheduled for an individual appointment to discuss future course requirements and transferability.
