enroll. Students must also meet the following requirements:

  • Have at least a 2.0 GPA or not yet established GPA at the Home College
  • Have no outstanding fees at the Home College

All participating Teaching Colleges have signed a Federal Financial Aid agreement. As such CVC Exchange students simultaneously enrolled at both Home and Teaching College may be able to receive federal and state financial aid funds based on combined units taken at both colleges.
Eligibility will be determined by the student’s Home College.
