(indicates student earned a C or better in course.) <\/strong>Yes, a P+ at a Virginia community college will transfer to UMW, provided as always there is an equivalent course at UMW, and satisfy elective, general education, and major coursework as appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How will a grade of P+ on a spring course impact the student entering a competitive major? <\/strong>UMW has no competitive majors. Transfer students currently at UMW must earn a 2.5 between their first three business classes at UMW to be admitted to the College of Business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How will a grade of P+ on a spring course impact the student meeting a major requirement of a grade of B or higher? <\/strong>There are no UMW majors or minors with this requirement for a particular course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How will a grade of P+ on a spring course impact the GAA if it requires a letter grade higher than a&nbsp; C on any courses? <\/strong>It will not impact a student negatively under UMW\u2019s GAA.&nbsp; We look at the cumulative GPA calculated by the Virginia community college. When UMW looks for courses that impact progression in a major or minor the P+ will be read as a C or better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How will a grade of P+ on a spring course be treated if the course is a pre-req for a major-specific course that normally requires a minimum grade to enroll in the major course? <\/strong>Generally, courses for progression in UMW majors and minors require a C- or better. The P+ will be understood to be a C or better and acceptable for progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How will a grade of P+ (grade of C or better) or P- (grade of D) impact eligibility for the Transfer Grant? <\/strong>Eligibility for the College Transfer Grant is set forth in the application (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.schev.edu\/index\/tuition-aid\/financialaid\/state-student-aid\/two-year-college-transfer-grant-program\">https:\/\/www.schev.edu\/index\/tuition-aid\/financialaid\/state-student-aid\/two-year-college-transfer-grant-program<\/a>) and is based upon the overall GPA, not individual grades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-transfer-practices\"><strong>Transfer Practices<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When should I request my transcript? <\/strong>As early in the admission process as possible.&nbsp; However, courses completed after the initial request should be followed up with a second transcript showing final grades and\/or the award of the associate\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How will I register for my fall classes at the 4-year? <\/strong>Incoming UMW students will meet with an advisor in the Office of Academic Services.&nbsp; Once that meeting takes place the student will register electronically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When will I know if I am accepted at the 4-year? <\/strong>You will be notified by the Office of Admissions via email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When will I know if I get housing at the 4-year? <\/strong>Transfer student room assignments will be made on a rolling basis as housing and dining applications are received.&nbsp; At this time, Residence Life and Housing will be able to accommodate any transfer student who submits a housing application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is it too late to apply for financial aid? <\/strong>It is not too late to apply for financial aid, however you should fill out your FAFSA as soon as possible.&nbsp; For questions please contact UMW Financial Aid at <a href=\"mailto:finaid@umw.edu\">finaid@umw.edu<\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What if my financial status has changed significantly, can I apply for more aid?&nbsp; How? <\/strong>Reviews for changes in circumstances are available and all students who request such a review must complete the verification process and provide appropriate documentation. Please email the Office of Financial Aid at <a href=\"mailto:finaid@umw.edu\">finaid@umw.edu<\/a> with your request and a brief explanation and we will follow-up with you individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What if I cannot pay my admissions deposit when it is due? <\/strong>If a student is not able to submit a deposit for financial reasons, they should contact the Office of Admissions (admit@umw.edu) to request an enrollment deposit deferral, to discuss extending the filing date, or to discuss partial deposit options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can I still submit an application to the 4-year? <\/strong>Yes, UMW will accept applications.&nbsp; However, it is highly recommended that you apply as soon as you know you will likely attend UMW, in order to have the best opportunity to register for classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can I request an unofficial evaluation of my transcript to see how credits will apply to my prospective major?&nbsp; How? <\/strong>The best way to see how transfer credits will apply to your prospective major is to view the <a href=\"https:\/\/academicsumws.wpengine.com\/registrar\/transfer-information\/resources-and-publications\/babs-transfer-credit-guide\/transferrable-credit\/virginia-community-college-system-vccs\/\">Transfer Equivalency Page<\/a> on the Office of the Registrar\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Any additional transfer information you wish to include for your transfer students? <\/strong>Please contact Charles Tate, Director of Transfer Advising, at <a href=\"mailto:ctate@umw.edu\">ctate@umw.edu<\/a> with any questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transfer Student Guidelines Grading Policies Will the class transfer and apply to general education and appropriate degree requirements if grade of P+ is awarded ?
