In order to make the transfer process as seamless as possible, we have entered into agreements that are major-specific with the following institutions. The agreements apply to students who have earned an associate degree from one of these institutions with a GPA of 2.0.

Dual Admission:
Keystone College has entered into a Dual Admissions Agreement with the following schools. Students enrolled in an Associate degree program at the partner school can be admitted into a bachelor’s degree program at Keystone, with guaranteed third year (junior) status, on the condition that they graduate from the partner school with a minimum GPA of 2.0 and complete a “Dual Admissions Intent” form by the beginning of their third semester. Additional benefits may be available to dual admission students. Interested students should contact their school for details of the agreement.

Keystone College complies with policy and federal law, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of a disability.

In order to request services and/or accommodations for students with learning or other disabilities, Keystone College requires a current evaluation by an appropriate professional attesting to the nature of the disability and specifying any limitations and special accommodations relevant to a college learning environment.

While information may be contained in an Individualized Education Plan, 504 Plan or Transitional Plan, Keystone College reserves the right to request additional information or assessment, such as recent psychological testing, to ensure proper guidance and assistance to the disabled student as needed throughout their tenure. Appropriate documentation should be submitted to the Admissions Office no later than four weeks prior to the start of class, to ensure adequate time for review.
