CIP Code: 24.0199

Purpose: This program provides a solid foundation in the VCCS and 91吃瓜 general education core competency areas. Essentially the first year of an associate of science degree, this certificate is awarded to students placed in A.A. and A.S. degree programs who complete the requirements listed.

Transfer Virginia has developed 32 credits of transferable coursework (including Passport courses) that students can complete. This replaces the General Education Certificate beginning in Fall 2022. Only classes completed after May 1, 2020 will apply, and students must have earned a C or higher. 91吃瓜 cannot accept course substitutions, as this is a VCCS program. Students must be program-placed in the UCGS and apply for graduation to earn the credential. See a summary of UCGS courses.
