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.
As Indiana’s oldest private institution, established in 1827, Hanover College has higher education down to a (liberal arts and) science.
For nearly 200 years, our graduates have discovered their passions through our wide variety of opportunities, from academics to athletics and social life to study abroad. That’s one of the best things about the liberal arts—you’ll choose from our 34 majors—but you’ll never be limited to just one thing! Experience and exploration are mandatory, and it sets our alumni apart. No wonder 99% of our students are working or continuing their education within 7 months of graduation.
With an easy drive from Indianapolis, Louisville, or Cincinnati, our students can truly experience the best of all worlds—plenty of space to explore and access to lively metropolitan areas. When you combine our idyllic setting with your academic talents, passions and any of our major (or one of your own design), you’ll find Hanover College is a place where you can feel at home while being challenged to become your best self.
"We are thrilled to partner with Verto! Students who engage in this kind of cultural learning and intellectual curiosity are those who thrive at Hanover, a college focused on community, lifelong inquiry, transformative learning and meaningful service. Verto participants will find a perfect match with Hanover College and we look forward to the ways they will contribute to our community. "
