These options allow students to receive an early admissions decision (and scholarship notification).

Under the Catamount Commitment, admitted Vermont students who are eligible for the Federal Pell Grant (starting in the Fall 2017 semester or later), will receive federal, state and institutional grants and scholarships to cover their tuition and comprehensive fees, as well as an automatic waiver of the University acceptance fee, in addition to academic and personal support networks.

CCV to UVM 2+2 Pathway

Body

Starting fall 2021, students at the Community College of Vermont (CCV) who complete a minimum of 60 transferable academic credits for specified programs will be eligible to complete their bachelor’s degree at UVM in two years through the articulated 2+2 pathways. Only courses with an earned grade of C or higher will transfer to UVM for credit.

Students can apply through the UVM Admissions Office as early as May of their senior year in high school or as late as the semester they are completing their associate degree from CCV. Students must be admitted to CCV prior to being accepted to the Pathway Program, and those who do not meet the minimum entrance requirements for UVM out of high school must complete them while at CCV. Applicants have up to 3 years to enroll at UVM after completing the pathways. During the last semester at CCV, students will complete an Intent to Enroll form at UVM.

Students who meet the CCV to UVM 2+2 Pathway requirements with a 2.8 cumulative GPA will be awarded at $10,000 scholarship ($2,500 per semester) at UVM for full-time enrollment
