WHAT ARE GUARANTEED TRANSFER ADMISSION AGREEMENTS (DUAL ADMISSION)?
The Guaranteed Transfer Admission program (previously called Dual Admissions) consists of specialized transfer agreements that provide our Mercer students with guaranteed admission to specific four-year colleges and universities. While each agreement has slightly different requirements and allowed majors, all agreements require that a student must officially sign up for the agreement and complete a degree at Mercer. Guaranteed Transfer Admissions provide an opportunity for MCCC students to complete a two-year degree at Mercer and be guaranteed admissions to a four-year college. Students must follow a specific course of study and graduate from an eligible program of study at MCCC with the required cumulative grade point average (GPA).
Guaranteed Transfer Admissions have very specific requirements and are not meant for every student. They are generally designed for students who are just beginning their college work (within their first 30 credits here at Mercer) and have selected one major and one specific college they plan to attend. Students who do not meet the Guaranteed Transfer Agreement eligibility requirements or who are unsure of their major or choice of four-year college can always continue at Mercer and transfer through the traditional transfer.
