Articulation Agreements

Tidewater Community College works with baccalaureate degree-granting institutions to develop articulation agreements to guarantee that transfer students are treated on an equal basis with the receiving institution’s native students.  TCC currently has guaranteed admissions agreements with Old Dominion University, Norfolk State University, and Longwood University for students who meet the conditions outlined in the agreements.   These general agreements guarantee admission to the university, but not necessarily to the student’s major of choice.  Many programs have competitive admissions that require students to meet additional grade point average and course requirements for admission to the program.

Institution-to-institution and program-to-program articulation agreements provide benefits for students that go beyond the guarantees outlined in the State Policy on Transfer.  Details on the transfer agreements are available from a campus transfer counselor or academic advisor.  Students are advised to consult frequently with an advisor or counselor to get the most accurate information on transfer and articulation.
