Stockton, Camden CC Establish Transfer Agreement

Students at Camden County College now have a smoother transition to Stockton University’s bachelor’s degree programs after the college presidents announced a new agreement on Wednesday.

The Transfer Pathways agreement offers multiple opportunities for students to affordably pursue associate and bachelor’s degrees at the two institutions of higher education, the presidents announced.

“Camden County College has the lowest tuition in the Delaware Valley, and among the most expanded articulation agreements with schools such as Stockton University,” Camden County College President Donald Borden said. “We offer our students a quality education at an affordable rate and make it easy for them to transfer to any school of their choice to meet their educational goals.”

“The number of students from Camden County who attend Stockton has been growing,” Stockton President Harvey Kesselman said. “This is agreement will help support students as they begin their degree at Camden County College, and also provides the assurance that they can have a smooth pathway to a bachelor’s degree at Stockton. We look forward to participating in their success.”

Under the terms of the agreement:

• Students who are denied direct admission to Stockton as a freshman applicant can receive conditional dual admission in partnership with Camden County College. Students will attend classes at Camden County College, but will also have access to campus activities and student groups at Stockton using a special Stockton Identification Card from Stockton’s Transfer Pathways program.
• Students already enrolled at Camden County College can apply for conditional acceptance to Stockton while working towards their associate degree and be assured of acceptance prior to the term in which they are ready to transfer.
• Students who successfully complete their associate degree at Camden County College can automatically transfer to Stockton with junior standing. Application fees to Stockton will be waived for eligible students.
• Students who complete at least 36 credits at Camden County College and a total of 64 credits between the two schools are eligible to receive a retroactive associate degree from Camden County College. The schools will co-host “reverse transfer” information sessions for students.
• The two schools will develop specific program-to-program articulation agreements for high-demand majors to facilitate the quality and ease of transfer.
• Students will receive joint advising from the two schools, and a Stockton advisor will have office space and a regular schedule at Camden County College.
• Students will be eligible for financial aid from whichever institution they are attending. Stockton will provide five one-year scholarships of $2,000 per year to Camden County College graduates whose admission to Stockton is covered by the agreement.
• The two schools will establish an advisory committee to ensure best practices in recruitment, enrollment management, academic and student services, information technology, marketing and facilities use.
