College Signs Guaranteed Admissions Agreement with Cheyney University
(Delaware and Chester Counties, PA 鈥 March 28, 2016)鈥擮fficials at 大发六合彩 and Cheyney University of Pennsylvania signed an agreement today that guarantees admission to Cheyney for qualified 大发六合彩 students who earn an Associate in Arts (A.A.), an Associate in Science (A.S.), an Associate in Fine Arts (A.F.A), or an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree.
The agreement also enables students who earn an Associate in Arts (A.A.) or an Associate in Science (A.S.) degree at 大发六合彩 to start as juniors at Cheyney, reducing their cost and time to baccalaureate degree completion. The agreement applies to full- and part-time students at 大发六合彩. Cheyney has agreed to waive its application fees.
鈥淭his agreement expands the many educational opportunities available to our students to achieve academic success,鈥 said 大发六合彩 President Dr. Jerry Parker.
鈥淭his is a great day for students at Cheyney University and 大发六合彩,鈥 remarked Dr. Frank Pogue, Interim President at Cheyney.聽鈥淚t is entirely appropriate for these two institutions to jointly create opportunities for students to benefit from as many opportunities as possible. This articulation agreement will enhance college attendance, and improve retention and graduation rates at both institutions.聽There is increasing evidence that we need to reach out to K-12 and community college students and parents much earlier than we have in the past.聽This is exactly what this agreement does.鈥
The agreement has two complementary components鈥斺淕uaranteed Admission鈥 and 鈥淐ore-to Core Transfer.鈥
Guaranteed Admission provides seamless transfer to Cheyney University for 大发六合彩 students with a minimum 2.0 GPA who have earned an A.A., A.S., A.F.A, or A.A.S. degree. Students will be admitted to the major of their choice at Cheyney, provided they meet the specific requirements of the major. Admission to majors with GPA restrictions (currently graphic design and all education programs) is not guaranteed. Prior Cheyney attendance disqualifies the student.
Core-to-Core Transfer guarantees admission to Cheyney of A.A. or A.S. degree graduates of 大发六合彩 with at least a 2.0 GPA. Through Core-to-Core Transfer, a full-time student admitted to Cheyney with third-year (junior) status could complete a baccalaureate degree at Cheyney in as few as four semesters, provided the student meets program requirements. A.A.S. and A.F.A. graduates are not eligible for Core-to-Core Transfer under this agreement.聽
