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.
Elon University has built a national reputation as the premier student-centered environment for experiential learning, emphasizing strong personal relationships between students and their faculty and staff mentors.
National ranked #1 university for undergraduate teaching, highly skilled faculty foster mentorship with their students inside and outside of the classroom. Five key factors are at the core of the Elon experience: student centered, globally engaged, experiential opportunities, an environment for learning and ambition. Our rigorous curriculum is grounded in the arts and sciences and is complemented by nationally accredited professional programs with over 70 majors to choose. With nearly 6,400 undergraduates on campus encompassing 49 states and 51 countries across our 650 campus, your exposure to individuals from all backgrounds will be vast. As a community we offer the right balance of challenge and encouragement helping you discover the ambition to seek something great and the courage to achieve.
