MVCC, Cazenovia College sign transfer agreement

UTICA, N.Y. — Mohawk Valley Community College (MVCC) and Cazenovia College have signed an agreement allowing MVCC graduates to more easily transfer credits to one of Cazenovia’s bachelor’s-degree programs.

Randall VanWagoner, MVCC president, and Ronald Chesbrough, president of Cazenovia College, signed the agreement in the University Partners & Transfer Center (UPTC) at MVCC’s Utica campus, the college said in a news release.

Under the agreement, Cazenovia College will grant full credit to any MVCC student transferring with an associate degree who maintained a grade of “C” or better in his/her course work. Those students will enter Cazenovia with junior status.

Per the agreement, the UPTC at MVCC’s Utica campus will house Cazenovia College representatives to handle student enrollment; “relationship management” with MVCC; and to support grant initiatives and community-outreach activities.

“We are excited about this new partnership and the opportunity to have our representatives on the MVCC campus to assist students who are interested in Cazenovia College as a convenient and affordable option for continuing their education in pursuit of a bachelor’s degree,” Chesbrough said in the MVCC news release.

MVCC’s UPTC seeks to help new and continuing students pursue their career and educational goals.

The center helps students by offering programs and assistance related to transfer preparation and the transfer process. Its services include a “specialized” transitions computer lab, advisor-in-residence visits, transfer fairs, individual counseling and application assistance, college searches, and guidance in selecting a transfer school, MVCC said.
