The New England Transfer Guarantee, a program designed to provide community college graduates with guaranteed admission to four-year institutions. The program is now expanding into New Hampshire offering students in these states a streamlined path to completing their bachelor’s degrees affordably and efficiently.
The New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE), aims to advance equitable postsecondary outcomes across New England through initiatives like the Transfer Guarantee, which supports students, institutional leaders, and policymakers in creating accessible, high-value education opportunities.
For the New Hampshire Transfer Guarantee, eligible community college graduates who meet the GPA requirements can seamlessly transition into participating four-year institutions, a model aimed at simplifying transfer pathways and promoting educational equity. The Agreement ensures acceptance at a participating four-year institution for associate degree holding students who have met a minimum GPA requirement of either 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0. At the core of the New Hampshire Transfer Guarantee is an unwavering commitment to equity, opportunity and access for all students in higher education.

Colby-Sawyer College
Franklin Pierce University
Keene State College
New England College
Plymouth State University
University of New Hampshire's main campus, Manchester campus, and online College of Professional Studies.
