Delaware Valley University - Dual Admission & Core-to-Core Agreement


Preface

Delaware County Community College (DCCC) and Delaware Valley University (DelVal) enter into this articulation agreement in order to facilitate the transfer of students from DCCC to DelVal and to expand their opportunities for academic success at DelVal. It consists of a guaranteed transfer admission and a Core-to-Core agreement for all students who earn a DCCC A.A. or A.S. degree. This new agreement supersedes the articulation signed on 2014.


Dual Admission Agreement

The Dual Admission Agreement facilitates the transfer of DCCC students who have completed the DCCC Associate in Arts (A.A.) or Associate in Science (A.S.). All students who earn a
DCCC A.A. or A.S. degree are guaranteed admission to DelVal. Students must complete an application, forward official transcripts from all institutions attended, and meet specific admission requirements for specific bachelor degree majors.


Core-to-Core Agreement

In addition, DelVal agrees to accept the General Education Core embedded in the DCCC Associate in Science (A.S.) degree as meeting all the requirements of its undergraduate General Education requirements. This Core-to-Core agreement applies to all DCCC A.S. graduates.

DelVal also agrees to accept the General Education Core embedded in the DCCC Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree as meeting all the requirements of its undergraduate General Education requirements provided that the student enrolls in a DelVal Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree program. If a student with an A.A. degree elects to pursue a B.S. degree program they will be required to fulfill the math and science course requirement that are pre-requisites for the DelVal Bachelor of Science degree.

Students who change their program of study may be required to take appropriate pre-requisite courses either at DelVal or at DCCC.

Terms and Conditions Applicable to Both Agreements

  • Students should complete the DelVal Dual Admission Intent To Enroll Form before completing 30 college-level credits. This includes credits earned from previous institutions.
  • A minimum grade of “C-” is required to transfer a course to DelVal. All courses must be college-level.
  • A minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA from all institutions attended is required for admission to DelVal under this agreement. However, each degree program may have different GPA requirements.
  • DelVal will accept a maximum of 78 credits in transfer from all prior colleges and universities.
  • DelVal has a 48 credit residency requirement, 15 of these 48 credits must be in the major.
  • DCCC credits earned through Credit for Prior Learning will be evaluated on an individual basis according to established DelVal policies.
  • The student must meet all applicable DelVal requirements and deadlines pertaining to application for admission and payment of tuition and fees.
  • Students transferring under this agreement will be eligible for financial aid and housing on the same basis as native DelVal students.
  • Once at DelVal, students who transfer under the terms of this agreement are responsible for meeting all degree requirements in effect for their major.
  • DelVal guarantees a free application for transfer students who apply to DelVal pursuant to this agreement.
  • DelVal agrees to award academic scholarships to all qualified students admitted to DelVal pursuant to this Agreement as stipulated in Appendix I.
  • Students are also eligible for need-based financial aid and other types of financial aid. DCCC students admitted under the agreement will be provided with DelVal financial aid information and receive full consideration for DelVal financial aid upon matriculation at DelVal.
  • Students who do not complete any associate degree at DCCC are not eligible under the terms of these agreements. They will not be granted automatic admission to DelVal and must apply for admission under the regular transfer admissions process.
  • Students transferring to a related DelVal Bachelor’s degree program from an eligible DCCC Associate degree program will transfer their entire Associate degree and may transfer additional applicable credits, up to a total of 78 credits. This includes credits from all prior colleges and universities.
  • Students who transfer under the terms of this agreement must apply for admission to DelVal within one year of DCCC graduation.

Joint Responsibilities for Maintenance of this Agreement

  • DCCC and DelVal will assure that the appropriate personnel at their respective institutions are made aware of the agreement and any revisions thereto, and are encouraged to support it.
  • Both institutions will encourage DCCC students to meet with representatives of DelVal to discuss issues related to admission, financial aid, and transfer of courses well in advance of their expected date of entry.
  • Both institutions agree to maintain and share outcomes data and records of the DCCC students admitted into the program to the extent permitted by law. DCCC also agrees to share graduation lists with DelVal once the information becomes available.
  • Administrators and faculty from each institution teaching in the programs for which this agreement has been developed will be encouraged to meet periodically to discuss issues of curriculum and student development.
