Transfer for Qualifying VCCS Passport and UCGS Students
The University of Lynchburg partners with the Virginia Community College System to accept partial general education credit for the Passport and the Uniform Certificate of General Studies programs. Passport and UCGS are micro-articulation agreements, wherein students are awarded a portion of their DELL general education credits based on their completion of respective “blocks” in the distinct programs. You can use the VCCS Equivalency Guide to determine which credits will transfer to Lynchburg.
The Passport program consists of six blocks or 16 credit hours. Students who complete the Passport program will receive credits toward graduation for ENG 111 (Block I: Written Communication), but will be required to successfully complete ENGL 123W with a minimum grade of C- to fulfill the DELL general education requirements. The UCGS program consists of seven blocks or 30-32 credit hours.
