This Core-to-Core agreement applies to all DCCC A.A. and A.S. graduates, and It is not limited to students who participate in the Dual Admissions program.

Additionally:

  • Core-to-Core transfer does not alter the requirements of the student’s major field of’ study. While students may transfer with third-year junior status, CHC does not guarantee that a full-time student will complete a CHC Bachelor’s degree in an additional two years after completion of the DCCC degree. Students must complete a minimum of 45 academic credits at Chestnut Hill College in order to earn a degree.
  • DCCC students admitted through the Dual Admissions and Core-to-Core program are permitted to study full-time or part-time upon enrollment at CHC.
  • DCCC students are required to submit official final transcripts from all previously attended colleges and universities prior to enrollment at CHC.
  • The CHC English language proficiency requirement will be considered fulfilled by students who have completed a designated Associate degree program at DCCC.
  • Former CHC students must meet all outstanding academic, financial, disciplinary or other obligations to CHC prior to being considered for re-admission.
  • Before undertaking a field of study at CHC, DCCC students are responsible to team eligibility requirements and issues related to licensure and /or employment in their field of interest (such as satisfactory GPA, course requirements, criminal background checks, professional licensure and certification requirements, internship requirements, etc.).
  • Spring semester entry to CHC may affect the normal course sequence of a degree program.
