In July of 2022, NEBHE will begin developing expanded transfer opportunities for northern New England community college graduates after a successful eight-month planning phase which concluded in February 2022. The scaling of the New England Transfer Guarantee to the northern New England states of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont is generously supported by the Teagle Foundation, the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations and the Davis Educational Foundation.

NEBHE is collaborating with state partners to develop a plan to streamline and unify transfer for both in-state public and independent colleges and universities. NEBHE’s partners include: the Maine Community College System, the University of Maine System, the Maine Independent College Association, the Community College System of New Hampshire, the University System of New Hampshire and the New Hampshire College and University Council, as well as the Community College of Vermont and the Association of Vermont Independent Colleges.

The three-year implementation grant will lay the foundation for the following in the three northern New England states:
  • strengthening partnerships among community colleges, four-year publics and independent institutions;
  • developing a unified guaranteed admission transfer system for community college students;
  • promoting transfer into liberal arts programs; and
  • increasing the number of community college transfer students who earn a bachelor’s degree.

The following colleges, universities, and state systems intend to participate in the collaborative design and development of the New England Transfer Guarantee
