The general education certificate requires courses usually taken in the first year of a four year degree. Students are urged to learn which courses their transfer schools prefer. Students should also speak with an advisor at that school. Students and their SVCC advisor can then plan their classes to meet their transfer needs. This certificate is a part of the Transfer VA initiative with guaranteed transfer credits to all public 4-year colleges and universities in the Commonwealth.
Admission Requirements
A high school diploma (or equivalent) and satisfactory scores on college placement tests (or equivalents) in English and mathematics are required. If students have deficiencies in English and/or mathematics, developmental courses are available to prepare students for the curriculum.
