MassTransfer integrates and replaces the Commonwealth Transfer Compact, Joint Admissions, and the Tuition Advantage Program as of fall 2009. Community College students who matriculated prior to fall 2009 and who choose to continue in the Commonwealth Transfer Compact and/or Joint Admissions Program will be required to complete their associate degrees by Ausust 2013 and must matriculate at a Massachusetts state college or University of Massachusetts campus by fall 2014.
Mass Transfer has two main purposes:
- to provide community college students who complete approved associate degrees under MassTransfer with the benefits of the full transfer and applicability of credit, guaranteed admission, and a tuition discount (each benefit based on fthe student's final grade point average) to linked baccalaureate programs; and
- to provide any student in the Massachusetts public higher education system the intermediate goal of completing a portable transfer block ( MassTransfer Block) which satisfies general education/distribution/core requirements across institutions (with the receiving institution able to add no more than six additional credits/two courses).
Students matriculating in fall 2009 as well as currently enrolled students may accumulate courses leading toward the completion of an approved associate degree under MassTransfer or the MassTransfer Block. The policy benefits will apply to students who complete either an approved associate degree or the MassTransfer Block beginning fall 2010, regardless of initial date of enrollment.
A student seeking readmission as a matriculated student to an institution previously attended - whether on a full-time or part-time basis - is held to the receiving institution's readmission policies. However, if eligible for readmission, the receiving institution is strongly encouraged to honor the MassTransfer policy.
The MassTransfer Block is as follows:
| English Composition | 6 credit hours |
| Behavioral and Social Sciences | 9 credit hours |
| Humanities and Fine Arts | 9 credit hours |
| Natural or Physical Science | 7 credit hours |
| Mathematics/Quantitative Reasoning | 3 credit hours |
| Total________________________ | 34 credit hours |
