New NHtransfer.org Web Site Helps Students Transfer Credits from the Community College System of New Hampshire to USNH

December 1, 2004 - Concord - Students who began their education at a two-year college in the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) can now use a web site to learn about transfering their credits toward a degree at a University System of New Hampshire (USNH) college or university.

The web site, www.NHTransfer.org, helps individuals explore their educational opportunities in New Hampshire.  It explains the formal articulation agreements between the two systems that now allow for the transfer of general education course credits completed at an CCSNH college to any USNH institution. Many specific program courses are also eligible for transfer.

Education is important in developing the ability of each person to think, reason, and participate fully in all facets of life. The Community College System of New Hampshire and the University System of New Hampshire play a pivotal role in this effort for students in New Hampshire and are proud to work together to deliver a high degree of access, value and opportunity to students in fulfilling their higher education goals.

About the University System of New Hampshire :

The mission of the University System of New Hampshire (USNH) is to serve the higher educational needs of the people of New Hampshire.   Through its sister institutions ( University of New Hampshire , Plymouth State University , Keene State College, and College for Lifelong Learning), USNH presently serves almost 30,000 students.
