  3. To enable Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania to attract a more diverse population of students to the Technical Leadership program.
  4. To enable community college graduates to obtain a quality education at allow cost, and, in doing so, provide the Commonwealth with qualifiedtechnical leaders.
  5. To ensure recognition of the continuity of academic progress andtransferability of credits between two year and four-year programs.


B.PROCEDURES

Delaware County Community College (hereinafter referred to as “DCCC”) agrees to publicize this Guaranteed Program to Program Admissions Agreement to prospective students on DCCC’s Transfer webpage, as part of regular student recruitment, and inform qualified students matriculating at DCCC of the opportunity for admission to Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania (hereinafter referred to as “BU”) under the terms of this Agreement.

The following items are the responsibility of students participating in this guaranteed admissions program:

  1. Complete an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.), Associate of Science (A.S.), or Associate of Arts (A.A.) Degree at DCCC with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or greater.
  2. Submit a BU admissions application with no timelines for applying.
  3. At the time of the admissions application, provide high school transcripts and transcripts of all college/university courses taken up to and including the previous semester.
  4. Upon receiving the A.A.S., A.S., A.A. from DCCC, students are responsible for providing final DCCC transcripts to BU.
  5. Students must pay BU tuition and fees when taking BU courses.

The following items will apply to all matriculated students who have earned the A.A.S., A.S., or A.A. credential at DCCC:

  1. A block transfer of 60 credits will be accepted from DCCC for graduateswith any A.A.S., A.S., or A.A. majors to the BU Bachelor of AppliedScience in Technical Leadership major. Additional courses not used tosatisfy requirements for the A.A.S., A.S., or A.A. degrees will beevaluated for transfer credit on a course-by-course basis. Credits earned ata college or institution which does not hold accreditation by a regionalaccrediting body are not recognized and will not transfer.
     
  2. BU recognizes the DCCC A.A.S., A.S., or A.A. degree may be certifiedand confirmed by the completion of: community college courses, dual enrollment credits, transfer course credits, life experience portfolio credits,developmental course credits, credits from courses with grades below “C,”articulated credits from Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, College Level Examination Program (CLEP) testing, Advanced Placement(AP) courses, military training credits and any other courses or learning elements that have been accepted by the community college as meeting the requirements for their A.A.S., A.S., or A.A. degree.
     
  3. BU will accept the A.A.S., A.S., or A.A. degree graduate has fulfilled thirty (30) General Education Points (GEP’s) reflective of MyCore, BU’s General Education program. Students will fulfill their remaining ten (10) GEP’s through the required 15 courses in the BAS-TL program. These points will be earned by the prescribed courses that have been identified and delivered in the program by The Department of Instructional Technology, to meet the graduation requirements for the BAS-TL major.
     
  4. An additional fifteen (15) credits of General Education coursework will be required to complete the Bachelor of Applied Science degree. BU encourages all students to complete these courses at our community college partner. As part of fulfilling these BAS-TL requirements, all associate degree graduates should complete at least one course in each of the following areas: mathematics, natural science, and public speaking. Students will not have to retake these courses if they completed them for their associate degree. All graduates of an A.S., A.A., or A.A.S. degree would complete the 15-credit coursework block in courses that complement their associate degree with approval of their BU advisor.
     
  5. DCCC courses completed to fulfill the BU 15 General Education credits while enrolled in the BAS-TL program are, as such, part of the BAS-TL curriculum. Although the courses are completed at the community college, the credits are transferred back to BU. Courses with a grade below a “C” will be accepted in the same manner as a resident student on the BU campus. Procedurally, this approach applies the same standards to students in our off-campus BAS-TL programs that are applied to students who are residents at the BU main campus; BAS-TL students would not be dually enrolled at both DCCC and BU.
     
  6. Students who elect to change their major at BU will receive a new transfer evaluation using the standard course-by-course method of evaluation.
