Virginia Passport Transfer Courses
The State Council of Higher Education for Virginia has coordinated an agreement between Virginia’s Community Colleges and all public four-year colleges and universities in Virginia to guarantee the transfer of 15-16 credits of general education course.
Passport courses satisfy some general education requirements at all public colleges and universities in Virginia, with few exceptions as noted. Students planning to transfer to a public four-year college or university in Virginia should select courses from this list, in addition to consulting with academic advisors at ESCC.

Notes
MTH 161/162 and 167 should only be taken by students preparing for calculus or for four-year degree programs that require study in College Algebra/PreCalculus. In these cases, Precalculus may not satisfy general education requirements, and students may not receive transfer credit for the courses.
JMU does not accept ENG 111 toward satisfaction of general education requirements.
CNU does not accept MTH 154 toward satisfaction of general education requirements.
W&M does not have a college-wide general education composition requirement. ENG 111 will not count toward satisfaction of general education requirements but students will receive generalized credit for the course.
