Mid-term grades must be at 3.0 or higher. Programs with space limitations may close early. Students must uphold good citizenship. All students must meet minimum entrance requirements.
Nursing, Exercise Science, Medical Radiation Sciences, and Medical Lab Sciences are not available to transfer students. Additionally, some programs may be closed to spring intake and allow for a fall start only (Engineering, Rubenstein majors).

You are still eligible for the Direct Transfer guarantee to UVM! The 3.0 GPA requirement is cumulative of all college transcripts
Yes, you would still be eligible for Direct Transfer as long as you meet UVM’s minimum entrance requirements. When you apply to UVM through Verto, you will need to submit a copy of your GED and the curriculum you followed for homeschool. If you started in a high school and then transitioned to homeschooling, you would also need to include any high school transcripts.
International students are eligible for the Direct Transfer guarantee for fall start only. Unfortunately, there is insufficient turnaround time for a spring start to allow for needed visa considerations.
If you have questions around the application process, work with your Verto Care Team. If you have UVM specific questions, you can connect with Transfer.Apply@uvm.edu.
Once you arrive to your Verto location, you can begin working with Verto staff to prepare your application to UVM. Applications are typically sent following mid-terms, so your mid-term report can demonstrate your progress towards Direct Transfer eligibility.
Once UVM has completed review of your application packet, you will receive an email informing you of the initial admissions decision. If UVM needs any additional information or documents before issuing a decision, your Verto Care Team will let you know. If you are meeting Direct Transfer requirements, you will receive a conditional admission letter, and your next step will be to submit the Transfer Common Application and all official documents to get fully into UVM’s system.
- College Essay
- Final HS Transcript
- Mid-term Report
- Other documents may be required on a case-by-case basis.
You can defer your conditional admission if the program is open for the next term and has space availability. Connect with both your Verto Academic Success Coordinator and Transfer.Apply@uvm.edu.
