Commonwealth Commitment

This is a unique opportunity for students to plan their educational budgets in advance, at a reduced cost

Reverse Transfer Program

The Massachusetts Department of Higher Education has implemented a statewide transfer program called Reverse Transfer. The program is designed for students who are currently enrolled at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ State or any of the other state universities or UMass campuses. Qualified students enrolled at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ as transfer students with at least 30 college-level credits previously earned at a Massachusetts community college, but without earning the associate degree.  Reverse Transfer allows students who meet all program eligibility criteria to complete the unfinished associate degree while working toward completion of the bachelor’s degree at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ.

Reverse Transfer is administered by the prior community college and the Office of the Registrar at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ State, and questions about the program should be directed to those offices, beginning with the prior community college’s transfer advisor.
