This agreement is intended to facilitate the transition of graduates from an associate degree program at Mohawk Valley Community College (MVCC) to a baccalaureate degree program at SUNY Oneonta (Oneonta). Oneonta and MVCC recognize their responsibility to students from their regions, as well as from the rest of New York State, to ensure a smooth transition between the two institutions. Both institutions have made a strong commitment to help transfer students maximize their opportunities.
