Acceptance and Application of Credits. NOVA and UMW will agree upon specific Curricular Pathways that include courses that apply fully to meeting lower division general education requirements (but may not meet Intermediate Language, Speaking Intensive, Writing Intensive and Experiential Learning requirements) in all UMW baccalaureate programs as well as to any specific UMW baccalaureate degree requirements defined in the Curriculum Pathway. Depending upon specific course selection, students may be able to meet the Intermediate Language, Speaking Intensive and Writing Intensive course requirements at NOVA. Graduates of AA and AS programs whose agreed-upon Curricular Pathways (based on NOVA Informed Pathway templates) are appended to this agreement are considered to have met all UMW lower-division general education requirements (but may not meet Intermediate Language, Speaking Intensive, Writing Intensive and Experiential Learning requirements). Such students are admitted to both academic and social junior status at UMW. Graduates of other NOVA degree programs (e.g., AFA and AAS programs) in an agreed-upon Curriculum Pathway may be required to take additional general education courses or additional courses within their major at UMW. Thus, graduates of such programs may need to complete more than 120 credits to complete the bachelor's degree at UMW. Notwithstanding, assigned courses taken in these programs transfer fully to meet degree requirements (i.e., not simply as elective credit) at UMW. Appended Curriculum Pathways (based on NOVA Informed Pathway templates) for such programs are considered part of this agreement. Only coursework in which grades of C or higher have been earned at NOVA may be applied toward the requirements of the partner program at UMW. UMW will accept credit for prior learning such as Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, Cambridge and CLEP as listed on the UMW website for the year in which a student seeks admission. UMW also will evaluate courses/credits earned at other institutions. No distinction will be made by UMW regarding college courses applicable to the transfer-oriented associate degrees that are taken through dual enrollment arrangements with high schools. Students who complete a NOVA associate degree while still in high school will be considered as first-year students for purposes of application and housing and must complete the UMW General Education program's First-Year Seminar requirement. UMW will maintain course equivalency information in its online Transfer Guide which shall be reviewed and updated annually following the completion of the curriculum change process. It will alert NOVA to proposed changes in course equivalency at least one year before such changes are implemented. No fewer than 30 semester hours must be earned at UMW to be eligible for graduation. Fifteen of the last 21 hours of credit required for the degree must be earned at UMW. In addition, students must take at least one-half of the major program at UMW (as defined by the department), earning a grade-point average of 2.00 in the courses. UMW will accept applications from students who wish to transfer from NOVA into any baccalaureate degree program, offered on ground or online. The application fee will be waived. Students transferring from NOVA to specific UMW programs at the junior level must meet the same prerequisites, grade-point average (GPA) and other admission criteria as other native or transfer students applying for entry to UMW programs. NOVA students who graduate with an Associate of Arts (AA), Associate of Science (AS) or Associate of Fine Arts (AFA) degree and have a NOVA cumulative GPA of at least 3.25 are guaranteed admission to UMW (see GAA attached for conditions). For students meeting NOVA's residency requirement to be awarded an associate degree, UMW will review the NOVA transcript with the provided NOVA cumulative GPA for admission and scholarship purposes. UMW will not consider grades of D or F that have been replaced in the admission process. Course attempts must be considered for aid purposes. Official transcripts from all colleges are required to complete the application for admission. NOVA graduates who complete the NOVA Honors Core Curriculum with a curriculum GPA of 3.5 or higher will be offered admission to the UMW Honors program and will have credits applied toward the UMW Honors curriculum. Specific details of the articulation of the two Honors programs are provided in the separate Honors pathway. UMW will establish priority filing dates and NOVA graduates admitted under this agreement will be considered juniors for purposes of scholarship eligibility, housing and preregistration (which requires completion of admission and preregistration advising prior to the time juniors are eligible to register for classes, as set forth on the calendar established by the Office of the Registrar). To be eligible for admission to UMW, students must meet all application requirements outlined in the UMW catalog and international students must meet the additional requirements set forth in the UMW catalog. UMW will award academic merit scholarships to at least two NOVA students each fall. Recipients are required to have an associate degree from NOVA and a 3.25 cumulative GPA. Each award will be for $2,000 (academic year) and is renewable for one additional year with a 3.25 GPA at UMW. A scholarship application is not required. NOVA transfer students will be considered based on their application for admission. Additional scholarships will be awarded as long as funds are available. Students who complete a NOVA associate degree while still in high school will be considered as freshmen for scholarship purposes and are not eligible for this particular NOVA transfer award. UMW agrees to render an admissions decision within two weeks of the student completing an application for admission with the accompanying signed Guaranteed Admission Agreement.
