Chestnut Hill College Signs Transfer Agreement with RVCC

BRANCHBURG, NJ — Students attending Raritan Valley Community College (RVCC) in Branchburg can now transfer to the four-year Chestnut Hill College (CHC) located on the northwestern edge of Philadelphia.

The “Dual Admissions, Transfer and Core-to-Core Agreement” between the two colleges allows students who receive an associate degree from RVCC to transfer into a bachelor’s degree program at CHC’s School of Undergraduate Studies or School of Continuing & Professional Studies with junior-year status as long as they fulfill certain requirements. Students may enroll either full-time or part-time at CHC.

RVCC graduates transferring to Chestnut Hill may be eligible for academic scholarships, ranging from $12,000-$19,000 for full-time students, depending on their grade point average and membership in the Phi Theta Kappa honor society. Discounted tuition is available for part-time students and those attending the School of Continuing & Professional Studies, based on their GPA. The agreement also offers RVCC students such benefits as waiving the admissions application fee to Chestnut Hill.

To take advantage of the transfer agreement RVCC students must maintain the requisite grade point average; fill out an “Intent to Enroll” form in their final year of study at RVCC; and complete at least 45 academic credits at Chestnut Hill.

For information about the new agreement, contact Paul Michaud, RVCC’s Director of Transfer & Career Services, 908-526-1200, ext. 8333.

Raritan Valley Community College’s main campus is located at 118 Lamington Road in Branchburg. For further information, visit www.raritanval.edu.
