Massachusetts Transfer Guarantee is a statewide effort to establish systematic transfer pathways between Massachusetts’ community colleges and four-year independent institutions. The Massachusetts Transfer Guarantee mitigates credit loss and increases student success by ensuring admission into participating independent colleges for associate degree holding students. The initiative builds upon the state’s public institution transfer policy, thereby expanding transfer options for Massachusetts’ community college students.
The Agreement ensures acceptance at a participating Guarantee institution for associate degree holding students who have met a minimum GPA requirement of a 2.5. At the core of the Massachusetts Transfer Guarantee is an unwavering commitment to equity, opportunity and access for all students in higher education.
