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.
Founded in 1891, UNC Greensboro was one of the first three members of the UNC public university system. Originally a women’s college, UNCG is now one of the most diverse schools in the state system. UNCG is a place where you can BE YOU. Our welcoming community makes it easy to find friends who share your interests. It is a place where everyone belongs.
Here, you’ll learn from faculty who are NASA scientists, Broadway performers, and global experts in their field. They are passionate about teaching and about helping our students find their passions and purpose.
Located in Greensboro, North Carolina, a thriving, diverse city with a growing job market. Our students are able to take part in local internships, job opportunities, and local activities in the city (though with our 250+ on-campus activities, we think you’ll be plenty busy!)
"The opportunity Verto Education provides to students is one of a kind. To be able to fully immerse oneself in a culture, learning both in and out of the classroom, provides a truly incredible academic foundation. That passion for learning, exploration, and curiosity that Verto brings out in its students are why UNCG decided to become a Direct Transfer partner."

TRANSFER STUDENT SUPPORT

First-year transfer students are paired with a volunteer transfer student mentor who is at least in their second year at UNCG. More than one third of UNCG’s undergraduate population began their academic career at another institution. This program provides a source of connection, support, and point of contact for students as they transition to academic life at UNC Greensboro.

First year and transfer applicants are automatically considered for a number of scholarship opportunities based on merit and financial need. Awards range in value and duration, including four-year, full-tuition scholarships.
