The Maine Transfer Guarantee intends to break down barriers to a four-year education for Maine's community college graduates.

Community college graduates in Maine can now transfer directly to degree programs at six of Maine’s independent four-year colleges, including the University of New England, under the new Maine Transfer Guarantee announced Wednesday, 6月5日.

“The Maine Transfer Guarantee takes the guesswork out of higher ed planning for many Maine students and families,大卫·戴格勒说, president of the Maine Community College System. “This provides clear benchmarks and guideposts to students and their families mapping out what can often be a confusing higher ed journey. Now they know exactly how to get from their associate degree to a four-year degree and beyond.”

在这个项目下, community college graduates meeting GPA requirements are guaranteed admission in programs at UNE as well as College of the Atlantic, 小量大学, 托马斯大学, Saint Joseph’s College of Maine, Unity Environmental University. More detailed information is available at the Maine Transfer Guarantee 学生门户. 

The agreement is the latest statewide Transfer Guarantee program coordinated by the New England Board of Higher Education. 其他 New England Transfer Guarantee programs exist in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont. A New Hampshire program will launch this year.

“The Maine Transfer Guarantee is a big step forward in simplifying transfer with the goal of helping students stay on track to earn the bachelor’s degree they seek by removing barriers that previously slowed them down, such as credits lost in the transfer process that add both cost and time to degree,” said UNE President James Herbert, who is also president of the Maine Independent 大学 Association.

Maine’s community colleges already have guaranteed transfer agreements with Maine’s public universities, 包括一个 大宗转让协议 that guarantees transfer of up to 35 credits of general education requirements, 利用U, which guarantees community college 文科 graduates admission with advanced standing to a Maine public university.

The New England Transfer Guarantee initiative, aimed at establishing systemic state transfer programs, is funded by the Teagle Foundation, the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, the Davis Educational Foundation, 和劳埃德G号. 贝尔福基金会.
