Stonehill College and Bristol Community College recently formed a transfer guarantee partnership for Bristol students who wish to pursue a full-time, undergraduate degree.
“Stonehill College is deeply committed to providing pathways for all who seek an undergraduate degree. I am grateful to our partners at Bristol Community College for collaborating with us to ensure students have a smooth transition to campus. I look forward to welcoming our new community members,” said Rev. John Denning, C.S.C., president of Stonehill College.
Bristol transfer candidates are eligible if they have completed the following:
- Achieved a minimum 3.3 cumulative grade point average in at least five non-technical courses at or above the 100 level.
- Maintained individual grades above a C- throughout their period of enrollment at Bristol.
- Submitted a transfer application by the published deadline for each entry term. All application fees will be waived for students of Bristol.
- Maintained good academic and disciplinary standing during their time at Bristol.
- Completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (if applying for additional financial assistance) by currently published application deadlines.
Students meeting these criteria will receive guaranteed admission into the Leo J. Meehan School of Business or the Thomas and Donna May School of Arts and Sciences at Stonehill College. All credits taken at Bristol Community College will transfer to the College.
Bristol students will receive a minimum of 50 percent reduction in their tuition charge at the time of their initial semester of entry. Additionally, Stonehill will appoint liaisons to provide Bristol students the support and resources they need as they complete the transfer process and begin their coursework at the College.
“This collaboration is an excellent extension of Bristol Community College and Stonehill College’s shared mission to expand access to higher education,” said Dr. Laura L. Douglas, president of Bristol Community College. “This cost-saving pathway will combine the academic support and transfer resources of both institutions, inspiring student success and simplifying the transition to a valuable bachelor's degree program.”
