VCCS Advising Supplements

Review them with your transfer counselor to ensure your credits align with both CNU’s Liberal Learning Core Curriculum and your chosen major.

CNU may award transfer credit for prior military training, professional certifications, coursework, or qualifying exam scores. Submit your documentation to the Transfer Admission team for review and find out how your hard work can count toward your degree.
