Graduates of the Community College of Vermont (CCV) who go on to seek further education are able to use the VSCS’s Direct Admissions pathway, which guarantees admission into one of VSCS’s other institutions. With Castleton University, Northern Vermont University, and Vermont Technical College’s transformation into Vermont State University, CCV alumni will continue to have this access. CCV’s current students will also gain easier access to exploring the ways they can continue their education at a university that shares CCV’s commitment to relevant, accessible, and affordable higher education.
