Community College of Vermont and Champlain College Online
The Vermont Transfer Guarantee
The Vermont Guarantee is a transfer partnership between the Community College of Vermont (CCV) and participating four-year colleges and universities, including Champlain College Online. Eligible CCV graduates are able to transfer seamlessly—admission guaranteed!
Who is Eligible?
- Students graduating from CCV in specific degree programs (see below) are guaranteed admission to corresponding bachelor's degree programs at Champlain College Online.
- Students will enter CCO with a guarantee of 60 transfer credits
- Possibility of more transfer credits through evaluation of work experience, military trainings, or other alternative credit providers. Those interested in learning more should speak with our admission team.
Preferred Tuition & Ways to Pay
Students who come to Champlain College Online with an associate degree automatically qualify for a preferred tuition rate. For the 2024-2025 academic year, that tuition rate is $290 per credit, or $870 for a three credit course.
Champlain College Online offers students several ways to pay, including Federal Financial Aid and payment plans.
Vermont Transfer Guarantee Details
- Students interested in transferring from CCV to Champlain College Online must have graduated with an associate degree with a GPA of 2.0 or higher
- Champlain College Online will recognize, as part of this Transfer Guarantee, transfer credits already granted by CCV for the associate degree with a grade of C- or higher. This includes any credits earned through the Vermont Dual Enrollment program.
- Champlain College Online will also accept previous credits from AP exams, CLEP, and other exam sources that have been applied toward the completion of the CCV associate degree
- Champlain College Online accepts previous credits earned through military occupation, training experience and coursework that have been applied toward the completion of the CCV associate degree
- CCV students admitted to CCO through the Vermont Transfer Guarantee will receive a preferred tuition rate each term of their enrollment at CCO. There is no refund for any CCV students already enrolled at CCO.
Associate to Bachelor's Degree Programs
Several CCV program fields have been mapped to CCO bachelor's degree programs, see table below. This means all 60 associate degree credits for these program fields transfer, so there are only 60 credits left to earn a bachelor's degree! Please work with your CCV advisor to determine if your program is in one of these fields.
For programs that do not fit within one of these fields, Champlain will accept up to 90 transfer credits toward a bachelor's degree. CCV students with any associate degrees should speak with a Champlain College Admission Counselor to determine the bachelor's degree that will maximize their transfer credits.

Affordability
"I was able to transfer in 86 credits towards my bachelor's degree, and then complete the rest of my program at Champlain. In all, it took me four semesters to go from high school graduate to college graduate, and now I've been accepted to the MBA program."
