The presidents of Shepherd University and Northern Virginia Community College will sign a transfer agreement which provides financial and advising benefits and paves the way for a smoother transfer from NOVA to Shepherd.

Under this agreement, NOVA students can receive academic advising to assist them in choosing appropriate courses for transfer, and students who meet specific GPA and credit requirements are eligible for a discounted tuition rate when enrolling at Shepherd.

Graduates from NOVA who meet the program’s requirements will be eligible for the discounted tuition starting with fall 2011.

President Suzanne Shipley and Robert Templin, Jr., president of Northern Virginia Community College, will participate in a signing ceremony for the transfer agreement this fall.
