Castleton works closely with the Community College of Vermont and encourages CCV graduates to continue their education at Castleton.
CCV graduates have proven capable of becoming some of Castleton's most successful students and alumni. They make the most of a Castleton education and continue to contribute in and outside the classroom.
Castleton and CCV have agreed that any student who graduates from CCV is guaranteed admission to Castleton. Students do need to apply, and the application fee is waived. A few Castleton programs, such as nursing and music, have further admission review requirements.
Castleton provides important academic and financial aid advising to CCV students who wish to plan a smooth transition to Castleton.
All CCV credits will be accepted and applied to the student’s major as appropriate, then to Castleton’s general education requirements, and finally to the electives that fill out a degree. Getting the balance exactly right can be tricky, and students have the advantage of gaining academic advice while at CCV that will allow you make the most of your time at both colleges.
Castleton and CCV have developed Pathway plans for more than 20 programs of study so that students who follow the prescribed plan experience a seamless transition to Castleton to earn a bachelor’s degree.
If you are planning to complete your CCV degree following one of these pathways and aspire to attend Castleton in the future, you may be interested in the Vermont State Colleges’ Direct Admissions Program. Through this program, CCV students can apply for Direct Admission to Castleton for a future term, essentially paving the path ahead!

Awards are renewable for students making satisfactory academic progress towards their degree.
