How does the
Direct Transfer Program Work?
Earn guaranteed admission to Verto’s Direct Transfer Partner Colleges through Verto’s free Partner Application.
Each Direct Transfer Partner has specific requirements for students to earn guaranteed admission through their Verto experience. If a college sparks your interest, but you’re worried about meeting their requirements for the Direct Transfer Guarantee, don’t be discouraged. While these partners offer conditional admission by meeting their specific Direct Transfer requirements, many also conduct a holistic and comprehensive review of applicants. Colleges are always looking to identify academically promising students who enhance their campus communities.

All transfer students will participate in transfer orientation and all transfer students have the opportunity to participate in the Transfer Navigator, a program that helps students acclimate to their new college ecosystem at Clark.
FINANCES
All students are considered for merit-based scholarships.
Top consideration for Clark’s merit scholarships goes to admitted students who have excelled in secondary school and college and whose academic achievement and personal qualities indicate they will perform at the highest level when they enroll at the University.
Transfer students are also considered for need-based scholarships.
Financial aid is awarded at the time of admission.
student life
Our students run more than 130 clubs and organizations, conduct groundbreaking research, and start their own businesses.
Beyond campus, Worcester, a midsize city with big-city rhythms and spirit, abounds with opportunities to learn, work, and play.
All students are required to live in Clark housing through the end of sophomore year. As such, housing for Verto transfer students is guaranteed through their sophomore year. While every effort is made to house all undergraduate students interested in housing, the Office of Residential Life and Housing does not guarantee housing for juniors and seniors.
