Dual Admission gives you the best of both worlds: the ability to start your education at Hudson Valley Community College (HVCC) and the confidence of knowing you’ll have a fully supported, seamless transfer to SUNY Oneonta.
Benefits of Dual Admission
- Priority on-campus housing when you are transferring in after receiving your associate degree from HVCC.
- Scholarships: SUNY Oneonta guarantees scholarship support to all HVCC transfer students participating in the dual admission program. Award amounts are based on GPA earned at the time of transfer and are awarded on a funds-available basis.
- Transfer credits will be granted for courses in which a student achieves a grade of D- (or passing grade equivalent) or better.
- Opportunities to meet faculty and students, participate in departmental activities and become familiar with the SUNY Oneonta community.
- Student Resources: personalized information and guidance regarding admissions, financial aid, academic advising, campus life, and more from SUNY Oneonta advisors.
- During your time enrolled at HVCC, you may reach out to your SUNY Oneonta transfer advisor to help get your questions answered about SUNY Oneonta’s campus and policies.
- Through our Transfer Together Peer Engagement Mentorship Program, you will be paired with a current student, who was also a transfer, to support you from admission through your transition into the Red Dragon family.
